The best market throughout the US with the lowest active management costs, trending upwards for employment and population growth, low property taxes and insurance and high rent by ratio with high cap rate would have to be Jacksonville, FL.

If I can't control my personal finances I can't reasonably expect to become a successful investor.What I did (and do still currently) is I make projections for my upcoming monthly expenses, and actively track all of my purchases.

Additionally, I have a few active investors interested in partnering but I'm seeking passive so I can have one off joint ventures or put together a PPM to increase returns and have a promote. 

Can't speak for other markets, but there are lots of helpful people from Memphis that are very active on BP.

I am actively looking at listings in CT but no luck so far.

Flipping PropertiesIf the primary objective of your real estate business, or one of your real estate businesses, is to buy, potentially fix up an existing property and resell it within one year, the Internal Revenue Service can consider that to be an active trade or business.

Also looking forward to being more active and responsive to both new and experienced members here on BP.   

I'll appreciate and thank your advice on why my approach is contrary to that of the experts.Thank you again being active and sharing in the great BP community.Daniel
