The U.S. housing market continues to expand, with rising home prices and steady new construction driven by a strengthening economy. But while market growth is encouraging, a rental property only becomes a true asset when someone is willing and able to live in it—and pay you rent.

Buying a home in a remote or undesirable location, no matter how affordable, won't deliver returns if you can’t find a tenant. Think of a house in the middle of a desert—it may be cheap, but it's not cash flowing.

What you really want is a low-maintenance, income-generating property located near well-paid professionals. These tenants prioritize proximity to work, lifestyle amenities, and vibrant communities.

In this episode, discover the 7 Steps for Picking a Strong Real Estate Market that delivers long-term value and reliable returns.
