First Time Investor Seeking Suggestions

[Jeremy Helsabeck]

Hey everyone. I’m new to bigger pockets. I’ve been working in real estate and real estate tech for the past 7-8 years and live in the Denver metro area. 

Because the Denver housing market has been so strong over the past 5-6 years and I was fortunate enough to purchase in 2013 before things got really crazy, I have a decent amount of equity in my home. I’m interested in taking a portion of that equity and hoping to begin my real estate portfolio. BUT, the question is where to invest...

I do not want to invest in the Denver area due to property costs, so I’m hoping for a few suggestions on location and what to specifically look for in a property or two. Any thoughts on Cleveland, Kansas City, Indianapolis, or others? I have approximately 75-125K to invest accordingly.

I would very much appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or things I should make myself aware of before taking the leap to begin investing. 

All thoughts and comments are much appreciated!
