Exploring Housing Markets for Investment Opportunities

It’s March Madness season, so we thought we’d create a bracket of our own, pitting some of the best real estate markets against each other to see which one will win the top seed for best city to invest in 2024. Each of our expert hosts picked two real estate markets, all with a March Madness team, and share why these markets will beat out the rest in 2024. Need a new real estate investing market? You’ll find more than a few in this episode.

If you want a slam-dunk housing market with layup rental property potential and three-pointer demographic trends (population, jobs, and income growth), we’ve got you covered. We scoured the nation’s housing market data and picked some of the country's fastest-growing, most affordable, and highest rent-to-price property markets that you can start investing in now. And they’re not just good college basketball towns—almost all of the cities we list have standout rental property metrics compared to most average US cities.
