Newbie looking to invest in Indy or St Louis
Hello BP,
I am a newbie to investing in Real Estate, but i hold a RE license in California (currently unaffiliated). I am based out of Los Angeles but looking to invest in my first SFH or Duplex OOS in the Midwest due to lower entry costs. My strategy is buy and hold using the BRRRR method.
I've been researching different Midwest cities (Cincinnati, Cleveland, St Louis, Indy, Detroit, Pittsburgh ) and i have to say at this point i am leaning more towards Indy and St Louis. I'm looking to invest in a C- or better neighborhood, or in a Revitalization Zone. I'm still researching all the different neighborhoods to determine which ones fit my criteria.
I'm Looking forward to connecting with/learning from some of you. I've been watching many, many videos and listening to podcasts to learn all i can, but this is my first post here in the forums.
Cheers !

Welcome to the forums Denny. I’m currently in the Columbus, OH market and the population and job growth has created great opportunity. Have you looked into Columbus?
