I am looking to diversify my investment portfolio by moving into real estate. Living in the bay area and not planning to stay here forever, purchasing here isn't really an option. I am looking to get into long-term SFH rental properties. I don't have any specific regions/areas targeted specifically. I have tended to look at Gulf coast Fla, Nashville (I am concerned this is an inflated market now), Nevada, or Ohio. I did some research using roofstock and I am ready to move into rolling up my sleeves and getting into this adventure.

Hi everyone! I'm Nick and I'm a traveling physical therapist currently working in MD but my one rental SFR I own is in Seguin, TX. I'm looking into the markets of Columbus, OH, Detroit, and central IN. Any help pooling together some good investor friendly agents, management companies, and lenders would be great! Thanks!

Hey Columbus Real Estate Community!

I hope this message finds you all well. My name is Prit, and I'm excited to introduce myself as a fresh face in the Columbus Ohio real estate scene. I've recently embarked on my journey as a real estate investor and am eager to connect with fellow investors in our vibrant market.

My goal for this year is to close on my first property, and I believe that collaborating with experienced local investors is the key to success. I'm here to learn, share ideas, and build meaningful relationships within our real estate community.

If you're a seasoned investor or someone who's also just starting out, I'd love to hear from you. Let's chat, share our insights, and help each other grow in this exciting field. Your guidance and wisdom will be invaluable to me.

Hey BP. I'm trying to get my first deal done but can’t decide whether to start off in-state or out of state. My primary goal for my first deal is to learn as much as I can but due to how expensive homes are in California, it’s hard to learn without putting too much on the table. I have read Long-Distance Real Estate Investing by David Greene, but I’m still worried that by investing out of state I wouldn’t be able to learn as much about renovations vs in state.

If my end goal is to invest out of state, should I just do that to begin with? Will investing out of state negatively impact the learn experience for my first deal, specifically the renovation aspect?

As a first time out of town investor, I'm considering Columbus Ohio. What neighborhoods should I consider for LTR and using the BRRR strategy.

Hi Everyone :)

I'm taking my first steps in real estate investing and am currently in the process of making my final decision in which market to invest...

To the final run came Columbus OH, and Indianapolis IN, two cities with job and population growth and diversity.

I'm debating between those two and we'd like to hear your opinion :) which one of them can get me higher cash flow, and has multi-family houses in the range of 100K-150K, preferably closer to 100K-120K price - ARV can be higher...

Any other pros and cons that I need to know to decide between those two?

Thanks a lot!!!

I am going to purchase my first investment property sometime later this year, and my research has pointed me to 5 different markets for a good mix of cashflow and appreciation:

Columbus OH

Memphis TN 

Indianapolis IN 

Kansas City MO

Oklahoma City OK

Anyone have any feedback on these different markets? Do you see a good balance of cash flow and appreciation coming from these various cities? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Just like the title says I am looking to select a market to purchase my first property. I live in Southern California and it's almost impossible to make an investment that will cash flow here so I'm fine going else where. I'm trying to figure out "what I don't know" that I should know before selecting a market. Obviously having a market where the price to rent ratio is favorable but what other metrics (or non-hard data) should I be looking for?

Other than price to rent ratio, I know I should consider how it will appreciate over time but I was hoping to hear how some of you guys decided on your markets (when they weren't nearby). How did you take all factors into consideration fairly?

I have a max of $100,000 I'd like to spend on this investment as it's my first. Preferably I'd spend half of that on my first one and get comfortable with the process and then do another for that same amount or go up to the full $100,000 amount. I share this as I know this disqualifies me from a lot of markets. Let me know what other information you'd like me to share that will help with any advice you have.

Thanks so much in advance and if I am breaking any of the forums rules I apologies. It's my first post here.
