Looking for good markets to build a MTR portfolio.

[Xzavion Schultze]

Currently saving money to buy a house somewhere. Around this time next year I should have about $35,000 saved up. I really want to move out of the mountains and want to find a place to live where I can start investing. I have it in my head that I will save my money to about 30 grand. Find an investor friendly agent somewhere that will guide me better. Is this manageable? 
Also let me know what some good markets are and what 2024 will have in store.

A great way to find a market is to go to https://www.furnishedfinder.com/stats

You can put in any city and it will show you how many requests for housing there has been versus how many units there are.  You will be able to see which markets are saturated versus the ones where there aren't enough units to cover the demand.  It can be surprising!
