BiggerPockets Real Estate PodcastAbout this episode
Here’s where we’d invest in real estate right now. The best markets to buy rental properties are often overlooked, affordable cities with s trong rents , reasonable home prices, and robust job growth . These markets could not only appreciate steadily, giving you the long-term wealth you’re looking for, but also pocket you some decent cash flow , so you have more passive income to grow your portfolio faster. We’ve got nine expert-chosen markets lined up, and there’s probably more than one with precisely what you’re looking for! These are NOT teeny tiny markets with $50,000 home prices in some town you’ve never heard of. These are real cities, with serious growth potential and millions (if not billions) of dollars being poured into them by local governments. Cities where jobs are growing, populations are rising, and rental demand is strong . If you don’t know where to buy your first or next property , this is the episode to help you whittle down your list. By the time you’re done listening to this, you’ll have at least a few hot real estate markets to start analyzing!
