Hey all.I’m trying to reverse engineer some assets to create the broadest appeal to investors and I was hoping to call on the generous population of BP for some insights.

With the growing population in Tampa, especially in Wesley Chapel to the North, there is a necessary change to our transportation due to too much congestion.

That said, BCS will always be a strong market w/ a very high rental population, but the numbers just didn't work for us. 

The city should have a metropolitan population of atleast 1,000,000 (including surrounding areas).

If I am to remain in state, I plan to primarily invest in rental properties in and around San Antonio, Victoria, Corpus Christi, or I'd really enjoy focusing on old dilapidated homes in small Texas towns that have outstanding school districts.For out of state, I will be focusing on metropolitan areas that exceed the national population growth and closer to the 1% rule than I can find around Austin.

The home has a considerable amount of equity to work with and is again, in a quickly growing area population wise and home values are going up about 3-6% y/y for the past 6 years.

Some areas may experience lower demand due to inability of population to purchase. 

There have been additional high schools built in the area over the last few years to accommodate for the boost of population and rumored to be building another one soon.Martinsburg HS is a powerhouse football program and have finished in USA Today Top 25 of the entire country multiple times over last decade and have won last 3 state championships.

Historically this has proved very reliable long term but especially the property prices have experienced short periods of depreciation (virtually always less than 5 years) and longer periods of stagnation.I make no claim as to continuing property appreciation as I could make a decent case for the RE market entering a period of stagnation, the market continuing to appreciate, or the market to depreciate some.However, I am still confident of rent appreciation in my purchase area (San Diego) for at least the next few years: 1) rents lag property appreciation. 2) vacancy rate is real low. 3) cost to add more than ADU is high - it costs around $100K to break ground for residential in San Diego (permits, surveys, etc.). 4) Minimum wage increases already approved. 5) one of the best weather climates in the US. 6) rising population: one recent study had San Diego as 13 highest population increase of large US cities. 7) geographically constrained: Constrained by Mexico to the South, Pacific to the West, Camp Pendleton to the North, and the East quickly gets harsh. 8) good and varied employment: Hard to imagine an employment category melt down that could impact the range of employment in San Diego. 9) environmentally diverse from mountains to desert to beach to happening urban center.Last weekend I sent out 2 rent increase notices.

It seems like a field that you could value-add quite a bit, as there are a lot of needs in this population.
