What i'm aiming for is to find properties in areas that meet these criteria points:SFR's B-/C+ areasgood job growth outlooksolid population growth outlook1% ruleReady to rent prices around $90-12kHappy to rehab at lower prices with ARV's the same as above $90-120kI want to identify 1-3 areas (which can be multiple states) to build a bigger portfolio and scale up to 10+ SFR's per area...Open to partner providers that do BRRR rehabs to speed up the growth and scale-ability tooI'm looking at the following areas:PittsburgAlabama (montgomery/huntsville/burmingham)Greater CharlotteHouston (although the prop taxes are killer)Greater AltantaOH/Indiana -- hard to ignore, there's a lot of chatter about this area.I haven't committed to any yet but really want to have the 1-3 areas nailed down by end of Feb to start taking action! 

You want to look at demographic trends, restrictions to construction of more units, job growth, population growth, quality of schools, ease of access to Nyc/jobs.

And, if so, was an actual pre-populated agreement attached (as opposed to saying something like "both parties will execute a standard CRPA")? 

It seems the population is more diverse and closer to big cities.   

Look at the trend of population growth by cities, that gives you an idea which cities have the highest housing demand. 

Hi guys,I'm evaluating a triplex (2 units of 2/1 and 1 unit of 1/1) in a 100K+ population town in the midwest.

the closer you are to urban/industrial centers the better for longevity but ultimately youll want to look for gentrified neighborhoods in areas with YoY positive population growth and stable work from fortune 500 companies. but 150-200 net is not bad.. if you dont feel like you need to carry a gun every time you collect rent :)

Also the Lehigh Valley area is booming economically and population wise, which is what really drew me there. 

@Scott Weaver Yes I expect prices to continue to increase along with interest rates and inventory (so far Colorado and specifically the Denver metro is still seeing significant population growth).

As middle-market spec builders, we build generic (meaning boring) homes that will appeal to the largest population of buyers.
