Hi! I recommend watching "Why Investor are still Buying Real Estate in the 2023 Recession" Bigger pockets Real Estate Podcast on YouTube by David Greene where he  answers these questions masterly. We have several out of state properties and would like to house hack here but the numbers wont work for a multifamily Robert from David Greene Team in California suggested a Duplex because if we where to buy a multifamily the rents need to pay for 75% of the mortgage. I would suggest that if you are serious on buying this year find a lender, talk to a agent in the market you choose, research a Property Management Company if the property is out of state and ask for referral for a Contractor " your core four" per David Greene book  Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat. Just though I would let you know that there are many down side of investing in real estate mostly do to tenants not paying rent or repairs so adjust your numbers accordingly. 

Best of luck in your investing journey.

Thanks for posting this, I'm going through something similar. Property management Crestcore in Memphis did not respond to the tenant's complaint about the heater turning off and on in the middle of the winter because of a breaker, so the tenant decided to leave without notice. Now I know what do to because of your post. Hope you find a profitable solution and best of luck with your rental.

Quote from @Simon Liang:

I'm looking to make my first out-of-state rental property investment - I live in CA. Narrowed it down to 3 markets based on factors like population growth, job growth, price-to-rent ratios, property taxes, landlord-friendly states, etc. Just have a bit of analysis paralysis at this point! My strategy is to go with a mix of LTR and MTR. The end goal is to produce consistent cash flow in a market that has some room to appreciate and is not over-saturated yet. 

Between these 3 markets, I need some help deciding on which market to start out in:
1) Charlotte, NC
2) Indianapolis, IN
3) Atlanta, GA


Hi! I'm not familiar with does markets but I would suggest reaching out to a Property management company, agent, Lender and Contractor before you buy. I just had a tenant move out because the property management company took too long fixing a heating issue so the tenant moved out ,no rent. On one of my other rentals Section 8 was not paid for months and two of our other rentals had repairs, please take note on Repairs, VACA, and CAP EX in your numbers.

Good luck to you!
