Markets like Texas (San Antonio or Dallas) or North Carolina (Charlotte) could offer better cash flow with lower costs.

If average sale for the area is 200,000 at 3 percent = 6,000You would need to close then 20 transactions in a year at the 3% level for 200k price to get the 120,000 commission.4.

Historically, Charlotte has never experienced more than two months of this level of inventory in any given year.Days on Market Has DoubledCompared to last summer, the average Days on Market for rental properties has doubled, making it clear that tenant demand isn’t keeping up with supply.Why Is This Happening?
