I'd say, if you can still make it work there, keep doing it until it doesn't. There's nothing like being able to invest in your own backyard! 

Hi Christopher, welcome to the BiggerPockets community! If you're considering investing out of state, my advice is to look for markets with growing economies. You can tell by looking at the growing population and job market. Columbus OH is one, especially now with so many companies like Intel, Honda, Amazon, Google, etc. moving and developing here. And make sure to work with a realtor who is also an investor and can easily plug you in with their network of GCs, PMs, and lenders. Happy to connect and answer any questions you may have.

Hey Christopher, welcome!

It sounds like you're off to a great start. If what you've been doing is working well for you I'd keep at it. Investing out of state adds in another layer of complexity for sure.

Are you four units in Mckinleyville?

I'm definitely bias, but people are still sleeping on Reno, NV. 

I grew up north of San Francisco and moved out here to live and invest. Best decision I've ever made. 

4-6% average annual appreciation rate, stable job growth, population growth, drivable to the Bay Area, close to Lake Tahoe, no state income tax, 4th lowest property taxes in the Nation, much more landlord friendly than CA, land constrained meaning limited supply, etc. 

It may not make sense for you, but I strongly believe it's an option worth considering (I've invested here for many years before becoming an agent here).
