They don't like to travel far. 

Please shoot me a PM if you would like to chat or just say hi.All the best,Phillip DakhnovetsGuardian Property Management & Maintenance Hi Phil,It's great to see another member on the forum from Toledo and investing in Toledo.Same here mate.I've travelled the world, lived all over the world and bought real estate all over the world.But I'm yet to find a market that offers a "better bang for your buck" than Toledo.Been investing in Toledo since 2014 in buy. fix and flips and also property management.I don't see myself investing anywhere else.Why fix it if its not broken.Downside to Toledo is low appreciation and difficulty finding motivated and competent staff.But is probably more so me being a poor people manager than the actual market itself.Wishing you much success in Holy Toledo hehe 🙏🙏🙏

In my 20 years in the business, I’ve gathered the best insurance contacts for investors from all my seminars and travels across the U.S.

@David LutzLets look at your major cost vs what I would expect here in TEXASMajor costs over last 3 years on 5 homes:$10K in missed rent leading to and waiting for eviction$3K Eviction costs (lawyers, travel, writ, etc.)Evictions outside the Pandemic takes 4 weeks in Texas.  

I think STR is an experience based travel and with the right marketing /design, it can 100% be a viable investment.

Upstate New York will generally qualify with standard markets such as Travelers, Nationwide etc... there are a few other property programs that do very well depending on the size.
