I was digging into some new data, and there are some very interesting trends happening right now… 👉 The Midwest and Northeast are taking the lead for flippers in 2026 Even more interesting?📊 71% of flippers are expanding their investment business this year So where is the opportunity actually going? Here are a few standout markets: 📍 Cleveland, OH — Entry points starting around $50K 📍 Hartford, CT — Ranked Zillow’s #1 hottest market for 2026 📍 Buffalo, NY — Seeing 15.6% YoY appreciation 📍 St. Louis, MO — Strong duplex cash flow potential Why these markets? - Lower purchase prices = more room for profit - Strong rental demand - Less competition than major metros But here’s the part most people get wrong… 💡 The best market isn’t always the hottest one — it’s the one you understand best. Your own backyard can often be your biggest advantage because you: - Know the neighborhoods - Can walk properties - Build a local team faster - Spot deals others miss Trends are great — but skills > location every time. 🎥 I’m thinking about breaking down some of these markets on YouTube — showing real deals, comps, and what actually makes sense. 💬 Drop a market below you want me to break down next 👇Let’s find some deals together. 🚀 Source: https://www.kiavi.com/blog/the-7-best-fix-and-flip-markets-for-2026?utm_source=Instagram&utm_medium=Organic%20Social&utm_campaign=202603-BLOG-MIX-Best_Fix_and_Flip_Market_Blog&utm_content=Blog_Evergreen_Bridge_Resource&m_mdm=Organic%20Social&m_src=Instagram&m_cpn=202603-BLOG-MIX-Best_Fix_and_Flip_Market_Blog&m_prd=Direct&m_ct=HTML&m_t=Blog&m_cta=Read%20More
