I know I should start now but where is the question

[Dilan Pradhan]

Hello BP community, I am a home owner for about 3 years and now ready for rental investment. I am here in SF bay area but market here is super hot to jump into investing in RE. I am thinking about TX, AR, CO or OR or even anywhere. For a first timer like me, where would be the best location for now. ideas, leads/connections are appreciated.

I have been following several other discussions on the similar topic here in BP that other new members started but wanted to get feedback here so that I can concentrate and keep track.

The Northwest Indiana rental market can be great if you are smart about it. The taxes are lower here which if you do things right you should be able to cashflow more. Also there is a large demand for rentals here as the rents are cheaper than Chicago (because of property taxes) so people move here all the time from Illinois.
