Once you have an established budget/pre-approval, you can rule out specific markets based on price points. 

Hello there,I have a quick question about how to get the equity out of my investment property.I have a single family house that I’ve been renting longterm in Atlanta, Georgia.Bought it at $180K and paid off about $50K so far and the house price went up to $330K.

Purchase price: $240,000 Cash invested: $38,500 Sale price: $355,000 Partner Driven, in collaboration with Ivan West, successfully completed a fix-and-flip on Woods Drive, Decatur, GA.

Purchase price: $218,000 Cash invested: $12,000 Sale price: $280,000 Partner Driven, in collaboration with Garrett Moretz, successfully completed a fix-and-flip on Sardony Lane, Charlotte, NC 28213.

Purchase price: $220,000 Cash invested: $5,988

Oh, well I am seeing properties at the price.

Many midwest markets still have a rent to price ratios that cash flow so thats why I keep buying there.

I'm interested in both multi-family homes (MFH) and single-family homes (SFH) priced under $80k.

I can't think of any other reason.

I would check the median income of the area.It is a function of price and return on effort.
