We have nice middle class houses we rent.

Thanks for investing in our wonderful city!

It is a beautiful place I bought a few years ago and want to invest in the basement to then flip the building.

RV parks ( we would be new to this area of investing ).

There are usually some minimum services like painting and house cleaning, but if additional renovation or maintenance is required, that will add to the price.

Then 7 days after we listed, the Maui wildfires changed everything on the island but we were fortunate enough not to lose this investment as it is on the other side of the island.

Coastal rentals can be a solid investment with strong demand.

I've done flips, long term rentals, and now I own and in house manage a short term rental in Michigan City.

Simon, Here in FL its much easier for us because we know a few things:1) The U.S. is severely under supplied in housing units. 2) Tons of people are moving to Florida everyday which makes point #1 even more drastic for us. 3) Interest rates are preventing people from selling their homes, because then they would need to re-trade for a higher interest rate buying a new home, which is creating even more housing demand.So with this knowledge, now we move to more market specific data, which is what I talk about in the original post.If a market shows decent growth and demand, then it all boils down to the numbers.Its important not to forget about any costs though.
