2. Naples, Marco Island, FL 3. Knoxville, TN 4. North Port, Bradenton, Sarasota, FL 5. Shreveport, Bossier City LA 6. Syracuse, NY 7. Milwaukee, Waukesha, West Allis, WI 8. Deltona, Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach, FL 9. New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner LA 10. Charleston, North Charleston, NC |
While Florida may not come as a surprise to anyone, places like Knoxville, Syracuse and Milwaukee making the top ten is surprising. It’s also been found that large institutional investors are starting to fall in numbers of properties they’re investing in, which is opening the door for smaller businesses or personal investors to have more of an opportunity at properties.
