Our rental properties are townhouses and condos and they are located in Charlotte, NC.

For example college rentals generate some of the highest ROI of properties I come across in New Jersey but it depends on the school and location of property.

It is mid year and this tenants mom (co-signer) wrote the following note;I am writing to formally request the early termination of my child's lease at location in San Jose due to a medical illness that renders him unable to continue attending college.

Especially for things like population growth/decline, economic trends etc.And what things do you recommend checking when trying to decide whether a location is a good place to invest.

Certain locations will have better results than others.

*the only reason I am not pursuing is because the home is located directly across from my current investment property and I'm looking to diversify my investment locations. 

The property is located in a prime growing area in northern Alabama.

What state is the property located in? 

I'm primarily Texas and Arizona with interest in Huntsville with it as a central hub location for that part of the country.

I agree with Collin.The Smokies do have a lot of competition, so you need to have a view, decent location, good to great amenities etc to stand out.We have a 6-bedroom cabin there, but I imagine a 3 to 4 bedroom would be in the sweet spot of not too big or not too small.
