Invitation Homes, the largest SFR rental investor in the country would rather pay money to fill in a pool than buy a house with a pool.

So many "I'm interested" responses that all go ghost and/or never reply and similar stories from LL's across the country gets me to suspect A/I or just BS replies to skew the metrics and response rates that the hapless LL's just cannot convert.Your experience may be different.

Detroit Michigan is without a doubt the number one city in the country for positive cash flow, best rent to value ratio and biggest bang for your investor buck!

There are many groups that meet across the country.

We have a diverse, growing, upscale economy and lots of well-paying corporate jobs.Things are slowing right now, as they are across the country, but our diverse metro Phoenix economy will help us rebound when COVID 19 reverses course.

back in the day when country wide was going great funs you could live anywhere of course.
