Orlando named one of top 5 markets for real estate investing…
Looking for a sure bet for single-family investment properties? Then Orlando is a market you’ll want to check out.
A new list of the top 20 markets for real estate investing puts the City Beautiful at No. 5 nationwide — and the highest-ranked Florida market on the list. North Port-Bradenton-Sarasota came in at No. 10.
“The real estate markets that made the top 20 list for investing were chosen based on population growth and its near cousin, job growth — both conditions ideal for investing in single-family homes,” said Ingo Winzer, president and founder of Dallas-based Local Market Monitor, which compiled the data for the rankings. “In all of the top 20 markets, the populations increased by more than double the national average of 1 percent.”
It appears that real estate investment has headed south for the winter, this according to year-end data compiled by Local Market Monitor, the national real estate investing forecaster, and HomeVestors of America (the “We Buy Ugly Houses”® people) with Texas, North Carolina and Florida ending 2014 as sure bets for single-family investment property markets.
