from BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast · host BiggerPockets
Where would we invest in real estate if we could pick anywhere in the country? Even with many real estate markets stagnating, several markets are still primed for serious growth. Today, Ashley Kehr and Henry Washington join Dave to share the best markets to buy rental properties right now. These markets span coast-to-coast, and we curated a list of nine top markets with the highest potential across the nation. Want an affordable rental property with high rent prices? We’ve got plenty of places on the list. Looking for appreciating cities with super low vacancy so you’re never without renters? There are cities in this episode for you! We’ve even got markets that are great for fix and flips if you’re looking for some quick(er) cash! We broke the country into three zones: East, Central, and West. Each investor chose a market in each region that they would invest in TODAY, explaining why the market works, which strategy performs best there, the average home price, rent price, and economic data that makes it better than other cities in the region. Don’t know where to invest in 2025? After this episode, you’ll have nine great options! In This Episode We Cover The manufacturing “sleeper” market with high employment and low home prices A “steady” Midwest city with a BIG new investment that could drive up demand A super affordable Northeast city that is great for house flips (but maybe not for rentals) Looking for appreciation? This area has below-average home prices, but they could rise quickly The best market for new builds just outside of a major metropolitan area HIGH rental demand here and why Dave regrets not investing in this market And So Much More!
