All were ice cold if even in the same industry.

So, any adv ice would be welcome as well.Thank You All in Advance!

Is it a place that you grew up vacationing, that you used to live near, some niche hobby that has a travel/tourism element (ice fishing, hiking National Parks that aren't the 6 that everyone knows, motorcycle rallies, etc.), or some other specific knowledge that would give you an unfair advantage over other investors?

The key is finding something that works today, and the potential tailwinds in the future are icing on the cake. 

I didn’t want to deal with the Midwest snow/ice or the FL/SE storms. 

I don't even consider anything that can't fit at least 4 bedrooms, your competition shrinks dramatically at 4+ bedrooms and your revenue potential hockey sticks.

Breaking the ice and getting started is scary, I know how that feels because I was there.

The tax savings are just icing on the cake, not the cake. 

I'm looking to build wealth for the long term. being 22 I my big why is early retirement and being able to travel. my focus is definitely cash flow and any appreciation is icing on the cake. my first instinct Is Columbia md because it does have plenty of jobs with high population (and growing slightly, I think around +1% growth). the cool thing is the owner/renter ratio is 60/30 30% of the housing market being renters. it has great 5 out of 5 star schools and a vacancy rate of 3.9%. now those are pros in my eyes. some cons are the houses are old the average being built in 1979. they are also a little on the expensive side. a good deal to even consider would be 200k. also high hoa fees.Now is this an opportunity market, do the pros out weight the cons? 

A net of $10,000 is sufficient; anything above that would be icing on the cake.I hope you enjoy the effort put into my "W" list!
