Markets

Florida

Tax Benefits:  Florida has no state income tax, making it a great place for retirees and business owners. As an investor, you can take advantage of these tax benefits and maximize your return on investment.

State Benefits:  The government incentivizes investors to purchase real estate to promote economic growth.  These include tax refunds, tax credits, grants, and loans.

High Demand for Rentals:  The rental market is strong, and the demand for affordable housing is rising as the population rises.

Opportunity: A trifecta of benefits like low home prices, high rental rates, and high rental appreciation.

Hawaii

Favorable Rental Market: A steady flow of tourists creates a high demand for short-term vacation rentals. Additionally, the presence of military personnel and university students creates a stable demand for long-term rentals.

Limited Land Supply: Hawaii’s land is limited due to its island geography, which creates scarcity in real estate properties. This limited supply can contribute to long-term appreciation of property values, making it a potential hedge against inflation.

International Appeal: Helps to broaden the pool of potential renters or buyers.

Long-Term Appreciation: Despite market fluctuations, Hawaii generally tends to appreciate over the long term, leading to capital gains and increased equity.

Arizona

Retiree & Snow Bird Magnet: Arizona’s warm climate and affordable living costs make it a popular destination for retirees and snowbirds, driving demand for housing accommodations year-round.

High consistent demand:  Demand in Arizona extends to various types of properties, from single-family homes to long-term rentals, and short-term, and mid-term rentals.  This diversity, driven by population growth, allows us to diversify our portfolio with multiple exit strategies.  

Land Availability: Arizona still has available land for development, leading to development growth, especially in the suburban areas.

Appreciation Potential: Arizona’s historical trend of population growth and economic expansion has become the catalyst for property value appreciation over the long term.

Texas

Strong Rental Market:  In the past decade, Texas has had consistent growth in population, jobs, and renters.
 
Affordability:  Texas cities like Houston, Dallas, and Austin are more affordable in terms of housing costs, which can make them attractive to investors looking to get more for their money.  As of March 2023, the cost of living in Texas was 8% lower than the national average.

Taxes:  There is no individual income tax in Texas. State sales tax of 6.25% is also lower than the national average of 8.20%.

Growing Population:  With low taxes, a favorable regulatory climate, and a pro-growth mindset, Texas leads the nation in the number of Fortune 500 companies that have made the state their headquarters.  In 2021, 62 companies relocated their HQs to Texas.

Landlord Friendly:  Texas is known for its strong protection of property rights.  Landlords have a legal right to evict tenants, if necessary, regain possession of their property quickly, and also set their own rent prices, without rent control or other restrictions.
