Since I am not local I am hoping some of the experienced investors can tell me which neighborhoods make for great rentals. 

I have a 4 unit building in Long Beach CA and looking for alternative rental property insurance companies. 

Would you think it would be a rental further down the line, plan is to stay in it and rent it out in the future.

The IMN Single Family Rental East and West conferences are always great opportunities to meet with the most active residential rental experts in the country.

I live in one and rent the other for positive cash flow of $400.After all is done, I would have 2 rental properties.

I work on the Property Management side of investing and we have plenty of rentals we manage in the Section 8 area (over 250+ doors in Greater Houston), I'm happy to answer any questions you direct message me for some an insight! 

Many places are considered long term rentals when the term is > 30 days.

Legislation around short-term rentals also seems to be a hot topic on Dauphin Island, so there is some risk to the STR market there in general.

I have a long-term rental in STN MTN (Stone Mountain) GA, and have a one year lease with a section 8 tenant and content with the cash flow, however, I can make more if the basement gets converted to a separate unit.
