SLO is great but is already a pretty hot market so maybe look at Ventura, Pismo Beach, Morro Bay. 

You'll likely need this, depending on how experienced the agent is and how hot the market. 

Not that I know Dayton, but I just looked it up: it's quite a hot market with list to sale ratio at 100%.

I find the median to be a better metric than the average, since some of these indicators swing wildly depending on the time of the market.SummaryWe started the year hot, but due to the impacts of the virus, we cooled at the very end of the quarter.

and this market while not red hot multiple offer type market its quite consistent .. so the risk/reward on this was I risked the 125k BEFORE we were annexed and certainly before approvals..

There are some “hot” areas (as my contractor calls if for trouble areas- drugs mostly).  

Had a plan to buy a few more properties before the year end, but the multi-family market seems to be too hot right now, hard to find good value.  

Hot markets for turnkey right now are Memphis, Dayton (my market) and Indianapolis.

Having said that when the market gets really hot knowing condos do come back can make for some profit making.If young people get priced out of housing they start going for condos.

Rainy season, snowy season, windy season, hot season etc etc etc.
