There are a lot of investors who have been managing properties for decades that you can learn from.  

I am new to the forums, but I have been a landlord and I have been managing my rentals for over a decade.

Flood insurance can be very expensive, and FEMA has been redrawing flood maps over the past decade so that houses that were on the edges are now in flood zones, with the extra costs it brings.

There are more houses than locals in the market and STR’s have been big here for decades before Airbnb started.

I have owned a SFD rental property in Katy for over a decade. 

@Patrick Marks the Rail is looking to be completed in 2023 connecting Fall River and New Bedford to Boston.I've been investing down here for years and the numbers work great for cashflow even in this inflated market.If you are looking to invest on the SouthCoast the biggest thing is to be prepared to hold these properties for a decade to finally see some meaningful appreciation.

I prefer to ask my local lawyer who specializes in landlord/tenant law and has leases that they used for decades on thousands of cases and they have been changed and massaged for local rules.  

I am seeing a ton of cabins being sold that have been milked for a decade or more by previous owner who paid in the 100k range selling them for 500k now.
