@Suhaib Rehman We're a PMC in Metro Detroit, managing almost 700 doors, in business for 20+ years.So, we may know a thing or two about your query.We get maybe 1-2 inquiries a year that meet what you're looking for. 

I can't speak on personal experience but you will definitely get more cash flow (or should) in nearly all major metro markets.The cons are that you need to have leases for each resident.

My primary interested cities are Sierra Vista, Tucson, Phoenix metro,  Austin metro.

Many investors are shifting their strategy a bit — either targeting smaller multifamily properties, secondary markets just outside the big metro areas, or projects that need light rehab to force some equity and improve rents.It can also help to work directly with agents who specialize in investment properties, not just retail listings, or to tap into off-market options like wholesalers and local REI groups.

You can DM us for a one-on-one discussion if you think it will help:)Otherwise, here's our copy & paste advice:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------We’re a Property Management Company (PMC) in Metro Detroit ONLY, with 25+ years of experience, and we’ve seen owners make the same mistakes, over & over again when looking to hire a PMC – which drives us nuts!.

For a first rental, starting with a turnkey or light rehab property makes sense so you can get comfortable with management without taking on too much risk, and the city is very landlord-friendly compared to many other metros.

I'm an investor in the metro atl areas but have ventured out further as well.

Caleb, great question, and built-to-rent (BTR) is one of the strongest long-term plays if you structure it right.Since you’re in Fayetteville, you’re actually in a market where BTR can work extremely well because the rents are stable, population is growing, and land is still relatively affordable compared to the big metros.

If you’re open to exploring different markets, Columbus, Ohio has been a really hot spot for both new construction and rentals because of the strong population and job growth, tons of companies expanding here like Intel, Amazon, Google, and Honda, and the numbers still make sense compared to most metros.

Hi Dani, I would start with exploring an owner occupant loan for a duplex in a submarket that appreciates well within the Kc Metro. rental income can help offset initial mortgage expense and potentially cash flow the next year with great COC return after moving out and renting your occupied unit.
