I recommend going to their city website and looking at job/population growth trends.

Leaders of US, Canada, Japan and others are working on stimulus to stem the drop in economic growth due to the coronavirus, which includes rate cuts.

The growth potential here is really the most valuable.

We have a strong job and population growth.

This is EXACTLY the times we were warning against...Another time is coming, perhaps 2 or 5 or more years, when this 5%+ quarterly (at least in my town) growth of new Airbnb properties leads to an implosion of occupancy and/or rent in the STR space.

I've been stalking the forums, podcasts, books, webinars, etc. for months now, and I've been eager to find the optimal market to get started in.My research has led me to Champaign, Illinois because of good trends in income, job, and population growth, strong price-to-rent ratios, declining crime metrics, and homes that are in my price range. 

I'm in a similar situation and would agree with what others have said regarding what your goals are and if growth is your main goal, then you need more properties.

I got my cost down but now I have a weekly task/job instead of outsourcing it and putting it on autopilot. 

While they are both similar markets in regards to population, job growth and stabilized economies, I found a better return on investment in Kansas City.

I’m looking at delegating as many tasks as possible to a property management company.
