Rise of Secondary & Tertiary Markets

Why smaller cities like Boise and Huntsville may be your next big profit center

The smart money isn’t just chasing cash flow—it’s chasing value. And in today’s market, value is increasingly found in the places most people aren’t looking: secondary and tertiary markets.

What does that mean? Think beyond the big names like LA, New York, and Dallas. Instead, look at Boise, Idaho. Huntsville, Alabama. Fayetteville, Arkansas. Cities with strong job growth, affordable housing, and lower competition for deals.

Why This Shift Is Happening

1. Affordability Crunch – Primary markets have priced out both homebuyers and investors. Secondary markets offer lower acquisition costs, higher cap rates, and room to grow.

2. Remote Work Isn’t Dead – It just evolved. People still want more space, better quality of life, and lower cost of living. That trend continues to push migration toward smaller metros.

3. Population & Job Growth – Tertiary cities are attracting major employers, universities, and infrastructure investment. That means stable rent demand and long-term upside.

4. Less Institutional Competition – Hedge funds and iBuyers like to play in the big cities. That leaves smaller markets wide open for nimble, local, or regional investors—i.e., you.

How to Spot the Winners

Look for cities with a mix of:

• Year-over-year population growth

• Positive net migration

• Diverse employment sectors (not just one major employer)

• Landlord-friendly laws

• Cap rates above 7%

• Average home prices below national median

These markets may not be glamorous—but they’re where smart investors are quietly stacking wins.
