The customary early termination penalty here is 2 months rent; in fact a family member in FL just paid a 2 mo early termination fee when they relocated, even though the apartment was in a very desirable area and was probably re-leased immediately at a higher rent.

Therefore, I am considering expanding my portfolio in the US to take advantage of potentially higher appreciation and more favorable lending conditions.Given my age and willingness to relocate anywhere, I'm seeking advice on which US cities offer the most potential for long-term rent cashflow, significant appreciation, and opportunities to BRRRR.

So even if there are a lot of new listings, it doesn't mean they're the type of listing that will work in this niche. 1/1's and 2/1's seem to be the sweet spot unless you're targeting corporate, relocations or insurance placements.

@Olivia EvansAre you willing to relocate yourself to do that??

I just relocated to Tacoma from the East Coast.

I recently relocated to South Beach from Madrid and am looking to invest in rental property in Miami.
