Markets We Serve

IPS sources vetted, cash-flow-positive investment properties across 11 growth markets — each chosen for the same fundamentals: population growth, rental demand, a favorable cost-and-tax structure, and durable long-term returns.

We don't chase headlines. Every market on this list was selected because the underlying math works for investors — affordable entry prices, strong rent-to-price ratios, and tax structures that protect your net yield. Several of our markets levy no state income tax (including Tennessee and Texas), and South Carolina was the fastest-growing state in the country in 2024–25.

Our Criteria

How IPS Chooses a Market

A great project in the wrong market is still the wrong investment. Before we source a single deal, the market has to clear four tests.

01

Population & Job Growth

People and employers have to be moving in. Sustained in-migration and a diversified job base are what keep rental demand ahead of supply.

02

Tax & Cost Structure

Carrying costs decide returns as much as price does. We favor markets with low effective property taxes and no — or low, flat — state income tax.

03

Supply & Demand Balance

We look for markets where quality new housing is scarce relative to demand, so well-built rental product leases up quickly and holds value.

04

Affordability & Cash Flow

Entry prices have to support real rent-to-price ratios. We model every market for cash flow from day one, not someday.
