[885] The cheapest city in America to flip houses in 2026
There's a city where the median house costs 142 grand and sells in 33 days.
There's a state posting a 73% gross flip ROI while Phoenix and Austin are barely breaking even.
And there are four "disaster" markets I think are some of the best hunting grounds in the country right now, if you change one thing about how you operate.
This is part three of our four part 2026 Flip Market Report series, and today I get tactical: where to actually buy in 2026.
I cover:
- The cheapest major metro in the country, and why the rent there often beats the mortgage payment outright
- The state putting up the number one flip ROI in America, and the housing stock behind it that doesn't boom or bust
- The "catalyst test," a simple filter that separates a real market from one that's about to run out of steam
- The billion dollar World Cup buildout and the $20 billion semiconductor plant quietly reshaping two Midwest markets
- The four markets everyone's running from that I think belong on your target list, and the three rules for buying in a soft market
