Has anyone moved to a market to buy rental property??

[Chris D.]

Hi All:

We see so many posts about out of town investing. Has anyone on this board actually moved to the out of state/out of town market either for a short term or a long term specifically for the purpose of building a rental portfolio? If so, I'd love to hear your feedback. I have a very flexible situation and it is something I am considering (with the market being Charlotte, NC). I live in DC....thinking about moving for a year to 2. Am I crazy? Love to hear any comments other than telling me to buy in the DC market. Prices are too high here and Baltimore is tenant friendly so thats out!
