Hi Fa! 

Welcome to the world of real estate investing! It’s great that you’re looking to connect with local investors—it’s always helpful to learn from others’ experiences as you get started.

As someone new to investing, one thing to consider is not limiting yourself to your immediate area. Some of the best opportunities can be found in other regions, particularly in markets known for strong rental performance, stable property values, and tenant demand. Diversifying geographically can also reduce risk and increase long-term returns.

For example, there are several markets across the U.S. that are ideal for new investors because they offer affordable entry points, reliable cash flow, and strong economic fundamentals. These areas tend to attract high-quality tenants and provide consistent passive income, which is a great foundation for building your portfolio.

If you’d like, I’d be happy to share some insights about these types of markets and why they’re appealing to investors. Starting with the right location can make all the difference, even if it’s outside your immediate area.

Best of luck with your investment journey! Let me know if I can provide any additional tips or resources to help.

Best regards,

Sadler Surratt
