Hi Tasha - My #1 criteria is landlord friendly states. I'm not in the business to fight local and state governments. A good PM is worth their weight in gold so I'd interview and connect with as many as possible in the market you're looking in.

Hi all,

I've been finding really good deals for cash flow in some of the smaller towns. However I'm a bit nervous about purchasing in a town where there's not much going on.

We are foreign investors, strictly purchasing for cash flow - however there's always that lingering thought of non paying tenants, etc. etc. 

Does anyone purchase strictly for cash flow? Knowing that the property itself likely won't appreciate much or at all over time?

Hllo 

I don't have too much personal experience, but I think having a Realtor that is investor friendly would be a huge advantage! Even better if they have some skin in the game themselves. I think also having patience with how the market is because there are going to be some deals that you really want that just don't work out. Just my two cents from what I've learned from my readings and listening to podcasts.

Yes, it's worth joining. You'll meet other investors that you can get to know more outside of events.  

To add to Scott's post, you may get more value by asking seasoned local investors to coffee! That way, you make a friend in your market that may be willing to help you navigate those waters.
