The Best Value Properties in Omaha, NE

April 28, 2022 •

Omaha, Nebraska, like so much of the U.S., has seen a dramatic spike in real estate prices over the last couple years. Much of it is due to lagging supply which is at roughly one third of normal. There are tons of buyers and not enough inventory which causes buyers to bid over asking prices. If you're lucky enough to own in Omaha, you're in a great position to command high rents for your property or just benefit from appreciation. ...Read More

The Best Value Properties in Youngstown, OH - UPDATED

April 25, 2022 •

• By Noah Blumberg •

Our January post about Youngstown, Ohio has been one of our most popular so we figured we’d take a look at the real estate properties available there once again. In this post, we won’t discuss the Youngstown economy like we did previously and will instead focus more on the properties themselves. At the top of the list you'll find several great deals in need of a significant rehab. You'll also find prices that are hard to match anywhere else in the country. ...Read More

The Best Value Properties in Cincinnati, OH

April 14, 2022 •

• By Noah Blumberg •

With home prices sharply up nationwide, it feels like a good time to look at a city that still has plenty of low-priced real estate properties that could be attractive for homebuyers or investors. Cincinnati has enjoyed steady job growth in recent years, but has not seen the huge increases in prices as many other cities have. It ranks just 178th out of 268 in that category. With only modest population growth of 4% over the last decade, this may be a window of opportunity to find a property before population growth drives demand for housing, and subsequently prices, higher. ...Read More

A Master List of the Best Real Estate Investment Cities
April 6, 2022 •
• By Noah Blumberg •
Instead of creating another list of the best cities to buy real estate, we looked at 22 existing lists produced over the last year and compiled their findings into a master list. Each list uses a different methodology. Some focus on cap rate, some care more about expected appreciation, and others focus more on rental market data. The variety makes our compiled list a rich overview accounting for all points of view. 57 cities received more than one endorsement and you'll see them all below. ...Read More

The Best Value Properties in Sandy Springs, GA

March 29, 2022 •

• By Noah Blumberg •

Just north of Atlanta, Sandy Springs, Georgia is a city that frequently gets mentioned alongside Atlanta as a great place to buy an investment property and a great place to live. Sandy Springs is a city of 111,270 which has a familiar real estate story over the last year —low inventory, rapid rise in prices, multiple offers, and properties on the market for relatively few days. The most striking fact is an average of 59 days on the market last February down to only 14 days in February 2022. That's an almost 80% reduction. ...Read More

The Best Value Properties in Salt Lake City, UT

Salt Lake City, Utah is known to most Americans as the largest and most prominent city in Utah. It has some of the things that large cities have like an NBA franchise, but it's only the U.S.'s 122nd most populous city.

The Best Value Properties in Riverside, CA

March 17, 2022 •

• By Noah Blumberg •

Just a bit East of L.A., Riverside, California is part of the Inland Empire which also includes San Bernadino and Ontario. It's been the subject of lots of investment speculation in recent years because, even after large price run-ups since the pandemic started, it's still relatively inexpensive when compared with the rest of Southern California. Being part of the vast megalopolis centered around Los Angeles and its countless amenities keeps demand high. ...Read More

Multi-Family Rentals Abound in Providence, RI

March 11, 2022 •

• By Noah Blumberg •

Providence, Rhode Island is the city we're looking at today and it's an interesting one. Despite big price increases over the past year, it hasn't kept pace with many other cities in the U.S., including closeby Worcester, MA. So there's room to grow with prices remaining relatively low, but at the same time the rental market is very competitive. Of the 100 top real estate markets, Providence is 77th in a ranking of overpriced to underpriced. And it's considered the 6th hottest rental market in the country.

The Best Value Properties in Fayetteville, AR

February 15, 2022 •

• By Noah Blumberg •

Fayetteville, Arkansas's housing market has tightened significantly in recent years. Plentiful jobs from large employers and flagging housing supply has driven up demand for Fayetteville real estate and, consequently, has driven up prices. It's a familiar story for many of the cities we've written about. Fayetteville is considered one of the best places to live in the U.S. and so there's lots of competition for limited housing which results in higher prices for real estate properties. As people get priced out of home purchases, they compete for rentals which drives rents up. ...Read More

The Best Value Properties in Huntsville, AL

It's rare to see a city considered to be one of the best places to live also considered to be one of the best places to invest. This is the case with Huntsville, Alabama. One reason for both distinctions is yet another distinction, the #1 cheapest place to live in the country. Huntsville's low housing costs were close to 40% below the national average in 2020 and the low prices make for a great value if you're living in Huntsville or buying as an investment.

The Best Value Properties in Independence, MO

Two different services, the Motley Fool and PolicyGenius, have designated Independence, Missouri one of the best places to to invest in real estate in 2022.
