May be the wrong properties or in the wrong location.

@Tayvion Payton here's some useful info:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Hi Anthony-You currently live in NJ and are looking for out-of-state locations that are affordable with strong rental potential.I would look at a market like Lansing, MI.

@Brennen Clouse I've located & attended a few searching on Eventbrite that host monthly meetups.

@Kris Lou Be careful with agents as 95%+ of them really only know how to handle owner-occupied transactions.We don't do biz in Indianapolis, so this is unbiased info we hope you find useful:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, experience, expectations and thorough knowledge about locations.

@Aristotle Kumpis I agree I want locations that are growing more in population and job growth. 

But it's quite a big deal where we're located and often overlooked by newer investors getting into MTRs. 

Location, location, location.Scarcity plays will remain bid.
