Investing out of state
This is my first post so bare with me. I recently bought a duplex here in San Diego, and I am saving to buy another income property. With prices so high here in San Diego I've been debating on looking out of state. Not really sure of the pros/cons of doing so. Was looking forward to receiving do's and don'ts from others. Thank you!

@Robert T Boll congrats on the first post! Hope to see you more in here!
Here are some quick tips!
@David Greene just wrote a book on the subject and I am always in favor for self education! Check it out here
- Determine your investing criteria
- Find an emerging market. (Hint: follow job growth and population growth)
- Visit the area, connect with brokers, lenders, and property managers.
- If you have a pro account, you can connect with other BP members in that area and start to build relationships and get boots on the ground.
I believe its all about building a team of success. Contractors, property managers, lenders, agents, etc. So if you build a quality team, the higher success you will have investing out of state!
Best of success!
