Is there a way to filter Zillow to only see houses that are for sale and haven’t been sold in the past 20 years?

Hey @Kathrine Bowers. I’m also an out of state investor with a property in that area. I’ve had a great experience so far. I’ve see. Prices and rents in the area go up. There have also been a decent amount of renovated properties popping up in the area.

@Elizabeth Njuguna you probably want a structural engineer to give you a report or a foundation repair company to give you a quote. It will cost only about $200 or so and you’ll have a much better idea of what problems you’re facing.

Where in the city is the property?

Thanks for the recommendations @Holly Barrett. I'll look into those cities!

I definitely like the midwest markets @Kurt Kaiser. Are you investing in Nebraska? How has that been going for you?

@Joseph Mckenna I’ve heard a lot of great things about AirBnB. My only problem is I don’t want to manage an AirBnB. And from what I can see, getting a property manager eats up most of your profits. Do you self manage?

Great shout @Jonathan Hulen! How has your experience been in that market? Feel free to PM me if you’d rather.

@Benjamin Wiltshire welcome to BiggerPockets. You live in a great city to start investing! I invest in Kansas City from Florida. What strategy are you interested in? Buy and hold, flipping, wholesaling, something else?

@Michael P. Maybe even like the 50th most popular. Somewhere with a little less competition, but still large enough to have the infrastructure to support investors

@Michael P. I’m not necessarily looking for somewhere that “nobody” has heard of (even though that’s what my title says). But I’m looking for something like the 20th or 30th most popular city instead of the top 5.
