Local vs out of state

[Micah Bolch]

Hello again and thank you for taking time to read this post.

I hear a lot about other investors going out of state to find their next deal. I've never gone anywhere other than the county I currently live in which is Bexar Co. If I want to dominate my local market would it be wise for me to step outside and other states?

I almost feel like if I searched elsewhere I couldn't focus on quality. My goal is to know every aspect of my local County and City here in San Antonio. I'm assuming there will be mixed responses but I'm willing to be open to hear suggestions.

Any recommendations or advice would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Micah

Your market is one that people from others go to, however recently you've seen a pretty large spike in prices.  but that is the case everywhere, you can make money in any market so finding a strategy you're comfortable with and picking a market to match it is a good way to go.  You already know your local area so if your desired strategy fits why would you quit.
