Quote from @Michael K.:

What type of properties do you typically find in Casper? How did you choose that city? I assume with a smaller airport connecting flights are harder to come by.

Most are 3bed/2bath, and lots of raw land. Happened to meet someone who lives there and who casually mentioned that her next door neighbor was selling her duplex, so we were able to do a private sale. There have been some new developments recently closer to the mountain, it's very pretty up there.
Casper is an outstation, with Delta and United flights from SLC and DEN, respectively. So no connecting flights through there, but more of a destination airport only.

Hello!

Newbie real estate investor with complicated history. Born in California, grew up in Switzerland, educated in Prescott, AZ, lived in Memphis, Dallas, Colorado Springs, Chicago, Phoenix and officially now in Casper, WY. I've been renting all my life, but I finally got a duplex under contract in Casper after a lot of failed search and start/abort projects in Phoenix.

I'm a part-time investor, because I love my full-time pilot job based in Phoenix. I have to officially live in Casper, WY because I got an FHA loan to pay for that duplex (which has a live-in basement that can be rented like a third unit). My airline didn't have a problem with it, it isn't unusual for pilots to live in different parts of the world and commute to work.

After a lot and lots of reading (and I've been reading blog posts on BP since 2014 without any action until last month!), I've finally decided that buy and hold small multi-family is the strategy that best fits my lifestyle for now.

Looking forward to connect, network and expand here!

Thanks all!
