Investing out of New Jersey
Hi All,
I am interested to know which cities have been good areas for investment. I have heard that Columbus, Indianapolis, and a lot of the states in the Central Region have been good areas to invest in. I am looking to house hack and can move anywhere with my occupation being fully remote. I have also looked into Rochester, NY as well. Curious to know what other cities are worth looking into in this market.
Thanks!

It does not matter where you start as long as you develop your Core 4. The core 4 is David Greene’s long-distance investing strategy and consists of a realtor, contractor, property manager, and lender. Once you have this team in place, you should be able to invest in any market confidently.
As for picking a specific market - I would go after one with an increasing job and population growth. I invest and work in Columbus, Ohio. I am also looking to invest in Cincinnati and Cleveland.
