Hi! I'm a new investor looking to buy and hold turkey properties in Hancock County, Indiana. My business partner and I have full time jobs and have fully funded our first purchase. We just need a real estate agent, le...

Local market rents are between $1400 and $1900 /mo within 2 mile radius.Two of the homes are 3 bed, 1 bath, appx 1230 sq ft, same rents as above.Each home is worth appx $265,000.

Sold it for 306,340 on the open market.

And how do I find solid data to compare properties and figure out expenses in a new market?

Would you caution new investors away from these types of markets?

This approach helps ensure that buyers have a clear understanding of what they are purchasing, reducing the likelihood of surprises and issues later in the process.Of course, this is market location and cycle dependant.

In a market like Texas I would go pool.

I am wanting to start investing in STR acquiring or developing the real estate.

I've got a very basic, possibly philosophical (lol) question.Owning stock market or ETF shares means you own a portion of the company or fund. 

This will have a big impact on the Page County STR market...STR properties will shoot up in value if/when this happens.
