I'm new and looking to start Out-of-State investing

[Kirk M.]

Hi there, I'm located near the Los Angeles area and currently have a few small residential investment properties in CA and looking to start investing out of state. My goal is to build a team online and irl to help with this new journey. I've been slowly learning about real estate investing along the way and looking forward to the BP Community. 

Looking for state income tax free properties and a possible move for myself to a state income tax free state as well. I was born in California and love the state but, so much has changed and wanted to try something new. Any help on ideas or best places would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

@Kirk M.
I would recommend taking a look at the Columbus Oh market. You can get good cash flow and solid appreciation at the same time. Columbus has a lot of job opportunities and population growth, especially with Intel coming to Columbus as well as Hyperion, which is a company that makes hydrogen fuel cells. Forese power is another company that will be coming to Columbus as well. It's a French-based EV battery company that will be establishing a North American HQ in Columbus. Columbus is home to the HQ of Wendys, White Castle, L-Brands, and Huntington Bank. Columbus is also home to OSU, which constantly develops real estate, employs lots of jobs, and attracts students from the US and internationally to attend. On top of all of that, it boasts one of the best college football teams Ohio State Buckeyes, which is very well known and has a cult following, and attracts a lot of people to the games.
