Hi @Monica Soyemi, I'm based in Southern California, but I have started my out-of-state real estate journey in Indianapolis.

He has been in business for over 40 years dealing in nothing but tenant evictions in Southern California.

I am in the Southern Suburbs of Chicago Illinois.

Slow season in the north is that 7-month period when no one books.2) Culturally, the Southern half of the US seems to be a lot more accepting of STRs regulation-wise.

Some questions about adding (with permit) an extra bedroom:- how much on average cost to get permits for an extra bedroom and how long does it take?- how do you price the value of an extra bedroom?Thanks!

What difficulties have you had investing in Southern Maine whether you buy and hold or flip.

Agree with @Mikael Winkler on Columbus and especially the South Side which includes German Village, Schumacher Place, Merion Village, Southern Orchards ...  

I’m aggressively searching for 3-6 units in Southern Maine (Cumberland County)The market is completely saturated here.I’ve reached out to hundreds of off market owners none which are looking to sell.It’s been a pretty frustrating time and I’m wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar that has any advice/leads.

Because the highest ROI is about 1000 miles away from me where I own a number of properties that make a ton of moneyI tend to buy in the Southern half of the US for 3 reasons:1) you get much higher year-round occupancy rates in the South & it’s simply tough to earn a good ROI in the North if your place sits vacant for a big chunk of the yearSlow season in the south is that 6-week period when occupancy drops to 50%.

Looking in the southern portion of Augusta GA for a 2/1 to 3/2 SFD for about 50 - 60K.
