I am looking into the following markets and would like to get feedback from seasoned investors/realtors/lenders/project managers regarding the market barometer is like. 

Realize most SFH and MFH has been in a Sellers market.  

We already have a small portfolio, 3 doors, in Omaha, NE where we live, but the market here has gotten too competitive/overpriced.

Every market is different, but here in Pittsburgh the 20+ properties per month that we put out are usually off-market and below market value so a generally low barrier of entry.

People who can share their experiences in different markets or with different investment strategies. 

I've always had good luck with Furnished Finder (but in the Denver market).

Market OverviewThe Los Angeles hospitality market showed strong recovery and growth in Q1 2024, with key performance indicators demonstrating significant improvement from the previous year.

I am a real estate agent in the Columbia,SC market, but I actually starting investing 2 years prior first.

I’m trying to take advantage of federal programs while I’m in the military.

My main questions would be: how long does the entire process take from applying to actually having possible tenants to start picking from, and how do they determine exact amount for rent (the amounts listed on the housing authority site seem way higher than market rent, I’m wondering if I will actually get those numbers or not)any other general tips or advice is also appreciated!
