I'm Planning To Buy A House Out Of State early 2024 (any suggested states to invest?)
Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum. I have listened to Bigger Pockets for quite some time now and finally decided to get on here because I current own a home in California, but I want to buy a 2nd house out of state. I was thinking Arkansas, Ohio, Indiana, or Michigan. If anyone else has suggestions on states they have rental properties and is working well, please let me know. I would like to start buying a rental property in early 2024. I just wanted to get started to choose a state, starting looking at it more and hopefully start to talk to get approved for a loan and start to talk to a real estate agent.
Thanks,
Miguel Suarez

Hey Miguel, I'm also in California but my rental portfolio is in Detroit (12-doors).
I'm a big advocate of that market and still believe it offers the best risk-adjusted returns today.
Lots of folks are still writing off Detroit but more and more are waking up to the opportunity there. The city is undergoing massive revitalization and investment.
