Good question. My husband thinks prices are inflated and isn’t sure we have enough capital to buy here.

@Michael S.

Awesome advice, thanks Michael.

Thanks Jack. I appreciate your insight. I have similar feelings on the one hand, but on the other, I hear success stories of people who do it nowhere near them. We actually already have a house in Florida, but only because it was willed to my husband @harryb40. It's in a great area and we would like to start cash flowing it. That's why we have a continued and growing interest down there.

Hi David, thanks for this insight. As a longtime Philly resident and homeowner, I definitely see your point about situations being street by street. Knowing that, I am also considering investing closer to my backyard. Not Philly per se, but maybe Scranton, Harrisburg or Wilkes-Barre. 

Thank you, Elizabeth! I will absolutely look into InvestHER. It's been really exciting to learn about this new career path over the last few months, after having been in the same field for so many years, doing the same thing—little to show for it (except expertise in my field!).

@Daniel Kramer That’s awesome, congratulations!

I’ll be reaching out to you if I decide on Toledo for my first purchase!

@Ali Mahdavi

I don’t see on the BP app where to find local meetup dates and times. I’ll go on the website and look deeper. Thanks for the tip!

@Edwin Martinez

Thank you, Edwin! I appreciate the insight!

@Daniel Kramer

Thanks, Dan. Cash reserves are definitely a must.

Did you and your wife buy a property in Toledo, or did you go out of state?

I’m looking forward to sharing details about my first purchase!

Hi everyone!

I would like to purchase my first property this year. I think it’s doable. I have the cash and no debt. I have narrowed my list to four areas: Jacksonville, Fla., Toledo, Ohio, Pittsburgh (where I went to college, but not super familiar with the C-class areas), and Detroit. I’ve seen great threads on all four of these areas, some with positive experiences, some not so positive.

My question to those who have done it a hundred times, 1,000 times or even two times:

HOW DID YOU KNOW? How did you know it was time to jump? How did you decide where to buy? Even if on paper everything looked good? Legit PM company, job growth good, population growth good, etc.?

I know I’m a strong woman, but I’m also a scared mom. At this point in my life, I want to move past the fear and build something real for my kids.

How did you know?
