    It's all about buying right, designing well, and operating at a high level. Almost any market can potentially work if you nail all 3. With that being said, here are some random ones that have good data backing them that could spark your interest. Please always review the regulations and be prepared to work on them first. 

    The Best Cheap Markets:

    Amarillo, TX

    Baton rouge, LA

    Des Moines, IA

    Richmond, VA

    Fayetteville NC


    The best mid priced markets

    Charlotte, NC

    Green bay, WI

    Kansas city, MO

    Tampa, FL

    Lancaster, PA

    Best high-end markets

    Moab, UT

    Rockaway beach, OR

    Charleston, SC

    Gulf shores, AL

    Sarasota, FL

    None of these are slam dunks if you buy overpriced and don't care as a host. It's best to figure out an area you actually like going to and can get to semi easily if needed
