Summary

Where are the BEST places to live in the US? Well, U.S. News & World Report just released their annual list to show which cities are worth picking up and moving to. Some of these cities are investor favorites, while others are rarely discussed within the real estate investing community. If these cities truly are some of the best places to live in the country, wouldn’t having property in such desirable markets lead to big investing profits? Henry, James, and Kathy go over the top cities on the list, talking about which are worth investing in, which aren’t, cash flow vs. appreciation potential, and where they’d comfortably park their dollars in properties. And even though Dave is away on his honeymoon, we’re still bringing you LOTS of data, statistics, and trends to watch so YOU can get in on some of the top cities before investing masses know about them. And, as always, thanks for joining us on On the Market. Our entire team wishes you the happiest of holiday seasons. Here’s to more deals, data, and passive income in 2024! In This Episode We Cover: The best places to live in the US and whether we’d invest in any of them Why this low-cost, solid rental property market took the #1 spot this year The south’s repeat winners that have strong employment and promising demographic trends The one pricey mountain city that is worth investing in IF you can afford it Metrics we look at before we’d invest in ANY real estate market And So Much More!
