Hi all,A little introduction...I am currently a professional soccer player for the Vancovuer Whitecaps of the MLS in my seventh season.I have spent the last couple of months reading and researching real estate investing.  

Properties that are easily accessible tend to be more attractive to renters and buyers, which can result in higher property values and rental income.Demographic TrendsThe demographic trends of a particular location, such as population growth and age distribution, can impact the demand for housing and rental properties.

Currently I like the idea of brrrr, but the idea of loans and debt still scare me though I’m not in a position to cover costs entirely on my own.

Currently, I own one rental property. 

Currently looking at a ~$1.35MM duplex in the Los Feliz / Silverlake area.

Its a strategy that barely even worked few years ago but currently airbnb rents are DOWN across the board and LTR rents are UP, the trend changed last year due to so much airbnb supply it dropped the rates and airbnb also got stricter with cancellation fees as well as giving guest refunds more often. 

With its diverse economic base stabilizing the rental market and a community-centric revitalization in full swing, Toledo stands out as a surprisingly lucrative market for real estate investors looking to maximize their investments.Market Trends and GrowthPrice Growth in 43620Homes with 5+ Bedrooms: In the past year, these properties have shown a substantial increase in median sold prices, rising from $139.9K to $167.4K, a growth of 19.7%.

I’m currently in the market for a second long term rental property. 

Ok, so does that mean never had one before or don’t have one currently?

I currently rent out 3 of the 4 rooms (all MTRs) and keep 1 for myself.
