I currently have a client looking to purchase their first investment properties here this year as well as in other Midwest markets that are also showing some of these same factors coming to light.Another thing to consider is that OKC is home to nearly 20,000 military / government workers with Tinker Air Force Base and the Army and Air National Guard posts there. 

I’ve been diving deep into the world of real estate investing, with a strong focus on acquiring rental properties and eventually scaling into larger deals.

After much consideration, I've resolved to take action and pursue a BRRRR property.

Are they doing everything possible to expose properties to the broadest possible market?

How many properties have you bought?  

It’s also worth considering a multi-family property for your first deal since it can help with cash flow.

@Ngozi IwunzeOne way to avoid capital gains is to turn the flip into a rental after the rehab and then do a 1031 exchange into a more expensive property. 

Don't forget about listed properties too. 

In fact, it is usually an automatic no deal unless you are putting 50-60% down for an investment property, but at that point, it wouldn't be worth putting that much cash down on an investment property where you can get much better returns in markets such as Denver. 

Since you’re investing from (out of state), property management is everything.
