@Audrey Sommer I prefer investing in my local market (Snohomish County).

I live in middle Tennessee, just south of Nashville, so I know a decent amount of some of those markets.  

I used a heloc to purchase the first 4 rentals, so $155k of dept is wrapped up In  that until I refinance each property which have already appreciated extremely quickly given the current market. 

IMO better options- If you don't need the money in the next 10+ years look into Annuities I'm seeing 7-9% and you don't have to participate in market downturns.

I have found a good market and have built a good team thus far and I'm ready for my first flip.

If you are going to manage multiple properties, having automated systems to handle tenant applications, tenant maintenance, marketing, billing, etc. will be crucial. 

Hi JAY,I'm reaching out to have your feedback on the Decatur Market.

I am in the Memphis Market as well. 

The issue is building a single small residential unit is some of the most expensive development.Here is a list of why adding a single ADU in single family zoned areas in my CA market is typically a poor RE investment:1) The value added by the ADU addition is often significantly less than the cost of adding the ADU.

It’s great to hear that you’re already active in the Southern Maine market.
