Hey @Seallington Touch I'd recommend attending some local meet ups and listening to the podcasts. Those are great ways to learn and network with local investors. Also, think about out of stat investing if the numbers don't make sense to invest locally.
I'm originally from San Francisco, CA and started investing in 2021. It was pretty hard to find properties where the numbers and landlord laws made sense which is what ultimately led me to investing in Columbus, OH.
The numbers and landlord laws out here made sense then, and they still do today. I've been able to get a healthy combination of both cashflow and appreciation from all my properties after a little TLC.
Happy to share my experiences. Good luck on your REI journey and property search!!
