π Why I LOVE Investing in the Midwest
Hot Take π₯: The Midwest is the BEST place to invest!
π Sure, you'll get loads of appreciation on the coasts.
π¬ Yes, Texas and the Southern markets have a ton of growth.
π But if you dig down to the root of why most folks are here on BiggerPockets, the primary reason for 95% of us AT FIRST is because we want to achieve financial freedom.
βοΈ No more "requesting time off".
No more 40hr+ work weeks.
No more having someone else dictate your schedule, dress code, or location.
FREEDOM.
π€© Investing in inexpensive, cashflowing 4plexes in the Midwest helped me to achieve financial freedom just TWO YEARS out of college.
π Househacking, partnerships, and flips have helped me to scale my portfolio to the point where I am confident taking the leap into real estate full time.
πͺπ½ FREEDOM is my why.
βοΈ Freedom to spend time with those I love. Freedom to make an impact on my community. Freedom to build a business as far and as fast as I can educate myself, network, and take action.
π And because of the freedom it has afforded me -- the Midwest market will always have my heart and soul.
(Y'all can keep Illinois though βοΈπ€£)
