Make a list of potential markets and factor in your travel time to and from each time you will need to visit the property.

I sincerely appreciate your input and support.As we prioritize cash flow and equity as our primary goals, we understand the importance of strategic location selection to ensure optimal rental income.Considering our business objectives, it may be necessary to expedite our planned strategy to increase our capital expenditure and emergency fund, mitigating any potential risks in the coming year.

I encourage you to work on that plan - it will deliver results long term that you will be very happy with.
