I'm currently researching markets for out of state investing. I have heard good things about Fayetteville for BRRRR's, Cashflow, and STR. I'm just starting out and looking for cashflow, but would someday like to transition to STR while still gaining appreciation. Are there certain neighborhoods that are better than others? Looking for any knowledge from those in the area. Thanks!

 Thanks Chris, that's helpful information. I'll check out Columbia too. 

I'm doing a little market research to narrow down my options. Currently I am interested in LTR for cashflow. I understand this is difficult lately with interest rates, but I hear Myrtle Beach is a great market for investing. I am curious if anyone has come close to the 1% rule recently or if this market is purely appreciation based. I am also considering STR after I get my feet wet with LTR and figured staying in the same market would beneficial down the line. Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated!

 Hi Justin, I'd love to connect. I'll message you. Thanks!

 Thanks Billy! Those were my thoughts too. I'll keep looking into it.

Hey All, 

I'm getting into market research and just listened to On The Market podcast where they list the top 8 housing markets for cashflow. Jonesboro, AR was one the cities mentioned. Does anyone have any experience in this market? From the podcast it sounds like a viable option for cashflow, but I have no real world experience of the area. Any insight would be helpful. I, of course, will do more research outside of this, but am hoping for some personal knowledge of the area. Thanks!

Hi, 

I'm currently working on getting my finances in order and considering different strategies. My ultimate goal is to invest in small multifamily, but would only be able to acquire one at a time with my own available capital and I would like to scale more quickly. I know they say we should pick one strategy and focus on that, but I am considering starting out with one STR in order to create more capital more quickly. I would use a second home loan for the lower down payment on that property and then use all those profits to start investing in small multifamily. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

Hey All, 

I am still in the learning phase of investing and just heard about companies selling turn-key properties to out-of-state investors that already cash flow. This seems like such a great deal, but then why wouldn't everyone do this? Aside from the obvious reason that you could increase your returns if you put in the work up front. I'm curious, what are some other down sides to this option? Thanks!
