But here’s the catch:In New York, the official process for nonpayment of rent requires a 14-day Rent Demand, not 10.

Both properties are: Fully renovated and tenant-readyEach building has 6 units (12 total units)Ideal for a buy-and-hold investor looking for long-term cash flowSolid rental area with strong tenant demand  Price: $1.8M for both propertiesDown Payment: 10% due at signingClosing: Within 30 daysOff-market deal – no wholesalers please

It’s not without its challenges, but if your focus is cash flow and you’re working with mostly cash, there’s still opportunity — especially in C+ areas where returns are strong and tenant demand is steady.

The longer it takes to break ground, the higher your carry and the more equity you need.Construction inputs – Labor and materials haven’t returned to pre-COVID levels, and with insurance and interest rates rising, the spread just gets tighter.You can solve #3 by building with lower quality materials and smaller units, but you cannot overcome #1 and #2 in most instances.The only way to really build affordable housing that cash flows is to do it in areas where land is still affordable, permitting is less burdensome, and there’s demand for workforce housing.

That predictability is a plus for long-term cash flow planning.Infill Construction Opportunities: Submarkets like Northeast Columbia and Lexington are issuing more permits for small-scale residential construction — ideal for investors targeting build-to-rent strategies.Student + Government Rental Demand: With the University of South Carolina and a concentration of government jobs, Columbia offers a base of steady tenants in neighborhoods like Rosewood, Shandon, and Forest Acres.Landlord-Friendly Environment: Compared to more regulated cities, Columbia’s policies are still relatively favorable to landlords — especially those operating long-term rentals.💡 Investor Takeaway: Columbia may not be a “flashy” market, but it offers what savvy investors often value most: steady cash flow, growth potential in emerging pockets, and manageable entry costs.Anyone here currently investing in Columbia or considering it?

I attribute to the general increase in demand for the Oregon Coast and in particular affordable and developable coastal properties. - Short term rentals statewide have an increasing barrier to entry.

They could positive cashflow and i believe there should be good rental demand from student population but i am not sure about the scope of appreciation in the area.

I am not an expert in MS but I would check demand, pricing, and vacancy rates to make sure it is a viable idea.

Demand for housing in Bali exceeds availability, and favorable construction costs, salaries, regulations, and taxes make Bali an attractive destination for real estate investors.As @Benjamin Werner mentioned owning property in Bali works a bit differently than you probably would expect.
