First Time Investor from California - Where should I invest?

Roopali Bahal

Posted

My husband and I are looking to purchase a few invest properties this year as funds become available to us. To begin with we have about $30,000 to invest. 

Can someone please suggest which city would be ideal to invest in for our first rental property. Also, are university towns a goos place to invest? I was thinking Winston Salem since I went to school there?

Thanks in advance!

@Roopali Bahal If simplicity and cash flow is your goal I'd put Oklahoma City on your list of areas to consider! I've seen hundreds of out of state investors come to OKC in the last year, most of them from CA. Our market is approachable because we have a massive C class area with 60-80k deals that need no rehab, already have a tenant in place and cash flow from day one! Something to put on the "maybe" list!
