@Andrew Smith, Greenville NC has some decent multiplexs, it's a smaller city drive on by a university, so the amount of renters is steadyI've been looking all around Wilmi grown, but that market is too hot for buy and hold, but there's some potential there for AirBB because of the tourist seasons

If you want to work and have to commute, the commute is brutal during winter and in summer the traffic is awful because of tourists.  

The worst thing they can say is NO...And if I had a dollar for every time I've been told NO, I would be retired in Italy sipping wine. 

Of course Boeing  Volvo  MBZ moving there and spending billions did not hurt.. as well as the number 1 tourist destination in the mid south 

They get nearly three times as much snow as anywhere else nearby.. the area is also over the top in wine production and consumption.

I dig it.. is it all wine and Roses hell no.

Now its not all Wine and Roses, the GFC took a huge bit out of our personal wealth etc and I would say 90% of all PML or HML that were up and running then went out of business.

 Any market which has a thriving vacation industry and also other diverse booming industry, has world class beaches  or great natural parks  and is near to many tourist locations should do well :)

Hike, camping (especially this year), ride bike, exercise, sit by the fire in the evenings with a glass (bottle) of wine, cook, go to live concerts, and talk with my significant other about the travel we will do when travel restrictions are lifted.

Aside from that, the older houses in established neighborhoods, close to revamped downtowns, or area tourist attractions seem to be more popular.
