Hi all,We just closed on our first STR property (DFW NORTH TEXAS) and am excited to start setting up our property!

Do you buy in North Carolina?

I’m based in Holly Springs, North Carolina, and currently looking to purchase my second investment property.

Stone Oak / North CentralMore established and slightly higher priced, but great schools, strong appreciation, and low crime.

Buy the nicest house you can for the least amount of money you can.The lower the rent, the higher the demand.Back into it....how much is average household income, take 30-40% of that and that is rent.Stay at that number or less.So I would say 3bed/2bath/ at least 1 car garage and preferably 2, $300K or less.Sherman is a good place to look...about 45 minutes north of McKinney with lots of demand drivers.Don't get tempted to buy new construction. 

I am about an hour north up in Sheboygan Falls and I have seen many mid term rentals on the market and it doesn't seem like they are getting rented out. 

Hello BiggerPocket MembersI am looking to renovate one side of my duplex, which is going to be available soon here in North west New Jersey I would need to change the flooring, the kitchen countertop and the shower.I am looking for thoughts and ideas for the following:1) For the flooring - what would be the  better option? 

I am located in the SW part of Washington in the Clark County area (Vancouver, Ridgefield, Battleground, Camas etc.) and also in the Cowlitz County area - all just north of Portland OR.I am Real Estate Broker who also is heavily researching my next purchase of a Multi Family property in this area.

Im based here in Saint Joseph, next town South of Benton Harbor, and work full-time as a real estate agent in the area.I just wanted to jump in and say hello, and share a few quick insights that might help as you're scoping things out:Benton Harbor City proper is very tough for STRs — highly regulated and not the easiest place to start.Benton Harbor Township is very flexible and a pleasure to work with.Also, many investors look at neighboring coastal townships:Hagar Township (just north of BH) – Very STR-friendlyLake Charter Township (a couple towns South of BH)– Also wide open and a strong marketSouth Haven and surrounding townships – More restrictive, often require multiple day minimum stays and may limit frequency of rentals to once a week turnover MAXIMUM.

I am looking into markets like, North Alabama, Memphis MSA, Tennessee.
