I know several people in Florida who are investing in the secondary and tertiary markets around the major cities and having good luck with that. 

Hulu streaming has a call center in town, there's a big medical center, it's military city, lots of historical attractions, and rapidly growing in restaurants, entertainment, etc.Austin is my hometown but locals are being priced out and expanding to outskirts and further than inner city.The other thing we must consider is COVID really opened up remote opportunities so people don't necessarily have to live so close to the city or close to the office - what this does for investors is give us an opportunity to search outside of areas like the heart of SA or Heart of Austin but look to other nearby cities.

Hello allWe are considering two Commercial retail and Medical office buildings to purchase in $4m to $6m range.

Both were grad students at ASU, one wanted to rent with three other grad students; the other was renting alone, with the lease co signed by her father, an MD who owned three emergency medical clinics in Michigan, and willing to pay in advance on a 9 month lease.

Seems like you would need to network with medical professionals and try to get referrals?

It is also building a huge medical research facility and will be hiring more medical than tech in the coming years which is saying a lot with Apple building its billion dollar 2nd campus here. 

@Adam TafelCorrect $200 cash flow after $100/month capex, 1 month vacancy.The home is in Austin which has Hormel, medical, warehousing.

Want to move out of this area and considering either Tracy, Elk Grove or Folsom.Assuming Safety, Community and Medical facilities are the criteria which of the  3 cities are recommended.

I wish there was a way to check medical on co-signers, we had a nice seeming grandma co-sign, but she was terminally ill.

I find a lot more luck in the secondary and tertiary markets.
