Hi @Tera Terajun I would love to connect and understand your real estate goals and if I can add value. Feel free to reach out. 

Hi @Josie Stephens - I have been listening to the Rent to Retirement podcast recently and they have a big presence in the Akron market and I even saw some of the renovations on those properties and they are turnkey ready. I have read some really good things about @Zach Lemaster and Rent to Retirement. I would definitely recommend having a conversation with them to atleast see their inventory. I also own properties in Cleveland so if you just want to chat about the market there, feel free to reach out. 

Hi Nelson! Welcome to Bigger Pockets! From the vision you have created for yourself, it already tells me that you have been listening to a lot of podcasts and reading a lot on these forums. Since you have made up your mind to get started in investing, I wanted to speak about the long distance real estate investing strategy that I have used to build my portfolio. I would love to discuss if you have some time in the coming week. 

Hi Kenneth, the midwest markets offer a ton of potential to buy all cash and build a portfolio. I worked with a couple of turnkey companies to get started in the Cleveland market. If that is something you want to chat about, feel free to reach out. 

Hi Braedie, Welcome to BP! I would love to chat and get an understanding of your goals and see if I can be of help. 

Hi Kevin! Wholesaling is one of the things to get started and build capital but there are multiple things you can do in Real Estate. Feel free to reach out and we can discuss over a call or something.

Welcome to Bigger Pockets Steven! I have an unpopular opinion on the forums but I will share it none the less. BRRRR is a tough strategy at the moment because of the changes in the cash out refinance rule and the high interest rates as well. Add to that the skillset required in managing a contractor from out of state makes it tough to cash flow at the end.

Having done out of state investing for over 4 years now, I would prefer a renovated asset with a tenant and then slowly buying more properties once you get used to the market, tenants and potential repairs that come up. Feel free to reach out and we can discuss further. 

Hi Jarred, the capital that you have should be good enough to buy something in the mid west markets. Traditionally these markets are known for good cash flow and stable appreciation. I am from Northern Virginia but I set up my portfolio in Cleveland and I started off with a similar budget. I would love to connect and find out more about your goals and see if i can add value. Feel free to reach out. 

Quality Property Management is like 90% of the team in out of state investing I feel. If you don't have a smooth experience with managing your properties, it can become a burden very fast which will stop you from buying more than 1 property in a different state. 

This is why its important to know the turnkey company before you pick a property from their inventory. 

Hi Jillian, I am a huge fan of out of state investing and Long Distance Real Estate Investing was one of the first books I read before I built my portfolio in Cleveland. One of the strategies I used was working with a couple of turnkey companies and getting started in a mid-west market. I would love to connect and help out so feel free to reach out.
