Derek,I live in Isla Verde and have short term rentals nearby. 

Another method is you can search for comps in the area to find a duplex that is similar to your subject property - check the rent of duplexes nearby and make estimates.

I would not attempt to invest there without intimate knowledge of its neighborhoods and school districts and nearby suburban areas in both Ohio and Michigan. 

Also a popular investment right now is in a community called Angeline nearby, it's going to have a lagoon, school, as well as a Moffit Cancer center. 

I think @Stephanie Jacobson is the one to ask about Binghamton...I think she mentioned short-term rentals in nearby Finger Lakes area but I'm not sure about in the city of Binghamton. 

See how the community feels- Look for communities with new development projects near by (one of her example was a property she acquired had a great school being built one or two blocks away)Lisa Phillips had soooo much more to say soo you should just go listen to the podcast!

Which area would you recommend nearby?

I can find my first phone number like that in about 30 seconds, especially if the mapping is good and I can just go straight to it and start clicking on nearby similar properties...

It seems like there’s growth in the suburbs and towns nearby as well.

Other areas nearby that were touted as being major growth hubs like Murfreesboro appear to already be experiencing some price declines.
