Buying in Idaho from out of state

[Matthew G.]

Hello all,

I am a new real estate investor living in Seattle and considering whether to invest locally or out of state. I have been researching areas of potential appreciation that are good for cash flow and have come across Boise, Idaho and the surrounding areas. The area looks very nice and seems to have potential. I would like to see if there are any other investors with properties in this region that live out of state.

Are there good property management companies that service this region? I am also interested in finding out if there are any unique issues to consider and look out for when investing in Idaho (taxes, etc).

I have found a property in Caldwell that catches my interest, but I would be interested in knowing how that particular area compares to other Boise suburbs.

Thanks!
