@Shannon Park I live close by in the bay area as well and invest OOS in Northeast Ohio. Would be happy to discuss how I narrowed my search but it involved the following features: 1. diversified economy, 2. population density, 3. rent to price ratio, 4. landlord/business friendly.

Hi @Kushaal Malde can I DM to ask how you narrowed down to Northeast Ohio and how your journey has been?

Thanks

Metro Detroit.

Purchase: $80-$140k

Rent: $1100-$1600

Roi: double digit

Cash flow: $200-$400/door

Appreciation: double digit (right now)

Vacancy: 3-4%

Markets: B, C+

Ring cities of Detroit.

I love my portfolio here. Rest of the nation is struggling for cash flow and it’s everywhere here.

Hey Joe, it's great info.

I have one question tho, when I looked up, I found the vacancy is like 8% in Detroit, does it mean only the Detroit proper? and how is the job market + population growth given the city has been in decline for the past decades. Thx

Hey Felix,

Raleigh is a great area to live and invest in but you're right, cash flow is hard to come by. A house down the street from me sold for 450K to a Japanese hedge fund only to be rented out for 2K. Not the kind of return that I look for but I'm also not a hedge fund. Check out some of the tertiary markets like Garner, Knightdale, Zebulon, Wendell, Apex, Wake Forest, and Roolesville. It should be a little easier to find better cash flowing properties here that will still capitalize on appreciation, albeit probably not at the same rate as Raleigh. Mebane is also becoming a popular place to invest. Feel free to shoot me a message if you want.

Hey Chad, thx for your input.

Yes, I just DM you so I can listen to what you think.

Hi, I'm trying to invest my first property.

Given I'm priced out from my area (SF), I am looking to invest in Raleigh/Durham area.

I've done a bit of research and know the area is with lots of high-tech jobs as well as diverse and plentiful of employment growth.

However, like lots of boom-towns, it is getting hard to find something with cash flow.

Could anyone be willing to give their 2 cents?

Much appreciated
