I have a property that has an giant 80' tall silver maple in the backyard right near the deck and porch of the house, the tree overhangs the deck and part of the porch and provide a lot of shade for the backyard.

It's been # 1 for many years overall and still in the top 3.

Thank you for the reply and providing your insight here.Carlos Aloha Carlos, This is a question that a lot of investors (in my opinion) get wrong.

Despite repeated requests, the agent has not provided certain essential documents or receipts, such as proof that the home was exterminated by the seller.

Then provide them with a preferred vendor list, set up electronic locks and make the landlording a little more automated.

@Max Murin I think you can learn a ton just off of free education with youtube or learning from someone locally and provide free labor.

My opinion for those that live in a high cost of living market is to continue living / renting in that market and invest in a different market that is affordable and provides both cash-flow and appreciation potential.The reason to stay in the HCOL market is because you will be paid(hopefully) a nice large salary.You can take this salary to then 'easily' invest in other markets.NYC is tenant friendly which can be a con for investors.Furthermore, NYC has appreciated historically.

Market Data- I like to personally look for top employers in that market & how many employees they have, look at trailing population growth and the direction it has gone, the population itself if it is an tertiary market, job growth, median area income, etc.

@Anthony DreWhen someone starts with “I am new to this” and then they provide little details and want to start in multifamily.

Everyone who has responded has provided tremendous insights, I’ll definitely look into the YouTube channel as well.Quote from @Mindy Nicol: Hi Scott, I have 2 rentals that I self manage and am really happy with Lodgify to coordinate messaging, sync calendars etc.
