Investing in the surrounding Midwest states

BP,

Good morning! I am a multifamily investor in southern Illinois. My goal is to start getting out of my backyard and comfort zone and start investing in nearby states (Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, Indiana, possibly even Wisconsin). If anyone has any information on the best areas in these states to start a portfolio in, I'm all ears!

@Stephen Jones Hey Stephen! I’m an investor and realtor here in Iowa City. The University of Iowa and large university hospital here provide for a very nice rental market. We have strong infrastructure for an out of state investor: excellent property managers, contractors, cleaning companies, etc.

I’m more than happy to do video tours of homes and get some leg work done for an out of state investor. Let me know if I can be of service!
