Out of state Investor
Hello,
My name is Michelle Macias.
I am an investor based out of San Diego CA. I’ve flipped homes and currently own two multi family properties in the L.A. county area.
I am wanting to purchase another multi family out of state. L.A county and San Diego county are too expensive.
I’m new to out of state investing , so any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
I have been doing my research as to what state to buy in, but have not narrowed it down yet.
Any help is appreciated.

Hey Michelle, welcome to BiggerPockets! I recommend that you first identify a strategy for your investment and make sure that the market you choose supports it. Also, building your Core 4 Real Estate Team is important when investing out-of-state. This team should include professionals like agents, lenders, contractors, and property managers. There are a lot of markets where you can generate a profit. The Midwest for example offers a great opportunity for investors due to its affordable housing market and strong rental demand. You should check it out. All the best!
