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? 

You’ll probably see complaints and a lower star rating than you’d like. 

Hey Success-minded Super Stars!

Hi Kelley,I am a native of the Star City and invest in Roanoke and parts around the valley.  

Looking in 3 star neighborhoods or above. looking for 100k or below.   

I wanted to know if one of our "house rules" could be that the guest had to have a certain star rating in order to rent from us.

However, in my opinion, a deal is a deal as long as the numbers look good.In regards to a property management company, I spoke to Orinthia at Lucky Star Property Managment https://luckystarproperties.com/ and they seem to have great reviews.

@Matthew Shedd If you're still interested in Marion Oaks, you may want to check the new construction going on in that area re: Ocala Star-Banner newspaper or CEP.

They think it is a 5 star hotel

None of this would be possible without our star team of @Lennon Lee, Stony, @Neal Bawa (Anna Myers and the Grocapitus team), our co-GP partners and our wonderful investors.
