Brand new to Real Estate investing, already working as an agent

[Jordan Leithart]

Hi everyone,

I'm just starting out on my real estate investing journey, though I'm already working as a real estate agent in Orange County, CA. For my investment strategy though, I'm looking out of state for multi-family rentals. Mainly, I'm looking at areas where I spend a decent amount of time due to visiting family.

At the moment, I'm looking at West Missouri (closer to Kansas City), Atlanta, and North Alabama. I would love some any and all advice. I've been lurking on these forums for a bit but everything seems a little overwhelming at the moment.

Looking forward to networking with everyone here!

@Jordan Leithart If you're going to invest out of state, my advice is not to choose a market based on the fact that you spend a lot of time visiting family there but base it instead on whether the market fits your criteria and offers the best chance of achieving your overall financial objectives. The three markets that you mention are very different from one another. Do these markets fit your defined criteria or are personal motives more involved in your decision?
