@Valentina ManzatiTo make a smart real estate investment, consider location, potential $20,000 down payment, and rental demand in Florida and North Carolina.

Although not a big deal, my tenant that is renting my property through THD is typically more demanding with an attitude of "I don't care, the insurance company pays for everything".

Due to a significant spike in demand, housing prices have skyrocketed, making it nearly impossible in some areas of the city to find solid returns as a real estate investor.

Quote from @Jacob Luong: It depends on what's in demand in our market.

It's a risk-reward proposition and for us here in Columbus, I see a lot of saturation with STR, but we have very high demand for MTR so most of the properties in our portfolio wind up being mid terms. 

This can bring you steady income with less frequent turnover and lower maintenance than STRs.Executive Housing/Corporate Rentals: Atlanta’s entertainment and business sectors drive high demand for corporate housing.

Generally, tenants don’t have the right to demand relocation for purely cosmetic improvements, nationally. 

Just want to get ideas - areas to look into, pricepoints, demand, value growth etc.

If a wholeseller is really thriving, they need access to OPM. that is why there are thousands of transactional lending groups because the demand is there. and with regulations changing, this will become more relevant. 

Look for properties in markets that have strong demand for both, within your $350-400K range.
