Following are nine reasons why the city of OCALA (Florida) is the No.1 place to invest in the United States in 2024, for national and international investors buying either with cash or financing with a US bank, with which we can also help:

1.  Strategic location: Ocala is located in North Central Florida, between the Atlantic coast and the Gulf of Mexico. Many national and international companies have warehouses here to distribute their products throughout Florida and Georgia, which generates thousands of local jobs. 

2. Ocala is surrounded by the second, third, and fourth largest Florida metropolitan areas, which take between 1 hour 20 minutes and 1 hour 45 minutes by car to get to, all with international commercial airports. So, Ocala residents can easily visit or even work in those big cities. Likewise, residents from the surrounding metropolises visit Ocala due to its unique environment, the state parks, the five parks within the natural preserve (to ride horses, bicycling, and/or hiking), the canopy line, the rivers and lakes with crystalline waters full of wildlife, and the many equestrian events during the entire year.        

3. Ocala is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country. Thousands of new houses are being built here in all directions, as well as new hospitals, commercial plazas for retail sales, office plazas, hotels, warehouses, restaurants, gas stations, and car washes.

4. Ocala has a strong and diverse economy that involves many industries, such as tourism, agriculture and animal production, healthcare, technology, distribution centers, construction, and the equine industry, which generates about 2.6 billion for the county's economy annually.

5. The cost of living in Ocala is lower than the state's average, and the lifestyle is more relaxed as it offers a perfect mix of city and country. So, here we enjoy all the benefits and comfort of city life as well as the wide green spaces, pure air, excellent mobility (road system), state parks, natural preserves, lakes, rivers, golf courses, and wildlife from country life.

6. Home prices in the Ocala area are lower than the state's average, and properties' lots are bigger than in most cities. So, investors who purchase properties here get a higher Return on Investment (ROI).

7. The Ocala area is a "paradise for retirees" who move here from all over the United States and other countries seeking a good climate (without snow) and a relaxed life.

8. Ocala and Marion County are trade-marked and known worldwide as the "Horse Capital of the World". With over 1,200 horse farms, over 80,000 equines, and the best infrastructure for horses, including the World Equestrian Center (the nation's largest and most modern horse venue).

9. Families from different Florida areas and all over the country are moving to Ocala seeking a better environment, job opportunities, the option to start their own businesses, and the convenience of spending more quality time together while enjoying a wide variety of outdoor activities.   

All this makes the city of Ocala an unbeatable place to invest in a wide range of real estate possibilities, including income-producing properties (residential and commercial), income-producing farms (for horses and/or cattle), and land.
