Would love to hear people's experiences in these markets or recommendations of other markets that are more on the "untapped" side.

In practice, it makes the tenant view you as weak and so they will come back for more an more until you say "no" to something and then you are the evil, greedy landlord AND as a bonus let's rile up the whole building.

Quote from @Mavely Pazmino: Interested in thoughts/experiences with the initial purchase and the refi on a BRRRR in Akron.

I attended seminars, joined meetup groups, and regularly invited local professionals for coffee to learn from their experiences.

Do you have any other properties or experience?
