I choose west virginia

[Alex Case]

After some research and thinking, I have come to the conclusion the best starting point for me to buy my first out-of-state property is going to be in West Virginia. 

with a low price point to start with I think I can learn a lot and make some mistakes on the way.  please chime in with advise.

Hey @Alex Case,

I am also from WV. Originally from southern WV, but my wife and I currently live in north central WV. We have been building a nice portfolio in the greater Clarksburg area over the last year and a half. We enjoy investing here for some of the previously mentioned reasons, and also because it is an area of WV that is growing rapidly due to jobs, and it's proximity to Morgantown and Pittsburgh. I would be more than happy to answer any questions you might have about investing here, and would also go through some of the specifics of our deals. We currently sit at 5 properties, with 16 total units. Love the point that @JonPaul Kessinger made about Fayetteville. Gorgeous area adjacent to the New River Gorge National Park. Plenty to do in town as well. My wife and I have talked about an STR in the future there.
