Welcome to BP Matthew! So excited for you! Thanks for sharing your bio. 

My husband and I are in the IC area. We have a local portfolio, as well as, a couple properties out of state under a syndication model that we serve as a member of the GP. 

BP has some really great books! I also really like The Magic of Thinking Big by David Schwartz.

Looking forward to meeting with you!

Allison

Hi Vernon!

So glad you've decided to make the leap to real estate investing. I have properties in the Iowa City area myself. The University of Iowa allows for Iowa City to be a great place to invest. I currently do not invest in the Cedar Rapids market as I am not as familiar with the neighborhoods. I also can get premium rental rates in the IC area. I also invest out of state. I like to stay in the midwest as it tends to be sheltered from the anomalies you sometimes hear about some of the markets on the coasts.
