Which markets are you most bullish on right now and why?

Looking to expand my geographic focus beyond my home market (Chicago). Curious where others are seeing the most activity and opportunity. I'm particularly interested in markets with strong rental demand and realistic fix-and-flip margins.

Sylvia, based on deal flow I'm seeing: - Southeast (Atlanta, Charlotte, Raleigh) — strong population growth, still affordable relative to coastal markets - Texas (Dallas, Houston, San Antonio) — business-friendly, no state income tax, strong job market - Midwest (Columbus, Indianapolis, Kansas City) — undervalued, solid rental yields, less competition I'm avoiding coastal CA, NYC, and any market where the rent-to-price ratio makes DSCR math impossible.

Florida is still strong for us (Tran Equity) despite the insurance issues. Tampa, Jacksonville, and Orlando are all active. The insurance situation is a real risk factor to underwrite carefully though.

The Midwest is criminally underrated. Columbus and Indianapolis are where I'd put my money if I were starting fresh. Lower prices, strong rental demand, less competition from institutional investors.

Robert — Southeast is where I'm leaning. Charlotte specifically has been on my radar. Vanessa — noted on Florida insurance, that's a real underwriting consideration. Thank you all!
