When analyzing deals, I’d suggest using a solid framework, like the BRRRR strategy or buy-and-hold, and focusing on markets with strong rental demand and solid cash flow potential.

Bones are strong and I want to buy it: "again a built-in contractor".

A lot of international investors buy in affordable, landlord-friendly markets like Memphis where the entry points are low (often under $150K), the cash flow is strong, and there are experienced teams that can handle everything from acquisition to property management.

Quote from @Garrett Creswell: Arizona cities like Phoenix, Tempe, and Tucson have loosened zoning restrictions to allow more homeowners to legally build ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) or casitas (often used interchangeably).Phoenix passed a policy in early 2024 allowing ADUs on most single-family lots, aiming to boost affordable housing and multigenerational living options.Requirements were simplified: smaller lot size minimums, reduced parking requirements, and less red tape for permits.With the new law passing, builders and developers saw a new market open up:They’re targeting homeowners who want to create rental income (especially with the Phoenix rental market staying strong).

Beach properties always catch our eye, especially when the spread is strong and the resale potential is immediate.

As far as finding strong STR markets, I’d start by narrowing in on areas with solid tourism or event-driven demand, plus favorable local regulations (this is huge — always double-check city/county rules before diving in).

@David Pulido We’re seeing continued STR demand in Frisco and Little Elm, especially with all the corporate and sports traffic nearby.If you’re serious about finding properties with strong short-term rental potential, reach out to @Joe Funari.

A strong credit score, reliable income, and solid financial history reduce risk in the eyes of a lender.

Newer construction in strong neighborhoods tends to offer lower maintenance and more reliable tenants, but it also usually means tighter yields.
