When you look at the “Hottest Real Estate Markets” lists from major publications, they often miss many crucial factors that truly make a market worth investing in. So, after getting tired of seeing the same cities repeatedly, we decided to make our own “Real Estate Hotspots” list, touching on the areas that are PRIMED for growth with plenty of appreciation and cash flow potential for landlords. We’re sharing all thirteen cities today! Our two favorite market pickers, Kathy Fettke and Austin Wolff, are back on the show to share their opinions on these top markets. Austin has spent hours and hours compiling this list, looking at not just population growth but income growth, job growth, GDP per capita, and more leading indicators that point to great real estate investing markets. Some of the top picks on this list truly surprised us, but the data points to these thirteen cities as some of the best places to buy in 2025. We’ll also talk about the overrated markets that may be past their prime and some nearby options that could make solid real estate investments for the long term!  In This Episode We Cover The thirteen real estate investing “hotspots” for 2025 that investors should pay attention to A very surprising top city that seems to keep on growing EVEN after some solid appreciation  The “satellite cities” that siphon off big city growth for a fraction of the cost  Cash flow hotspots that still boast affordable prices with solid rent-to-price ratios The one Texas city that many investors forget about but is still growing fast (definitely not Austin) Cities that DIDN’T make the list and are constantly overhyped by the media And So Much More!
