New to real estate investing? Stuck in an area with expensive housing prices or not-so-landlord-friendly laws but want to buy real estate? We’ve got you covered. We’re sharing our favorite 2025 real estate markets for rental property investing, many of which are so affordable even a real estate rookie will have no trouble buying in. But these aren’t just cheap markets; they all have strong fundamentals that drive appreciation and rising rents.

We actually did a show just like this back in August, one of the most popular ones we did last year. It featured Ashley Kehr and Henry Washington. We each picked our own market. So to do the repeat of this…
