My core investing philosophy is pretty simple, and has done very well across almost two decades and numerous cities:1) Invest in cities with population (and job) growth2) Invest in parts of the city where household income is near the median (or slightly below)3) Invest in properties that provide cash flow from day 1 Thank you for sharing that. 

Yes, Oklahoma is a great market to consider, especially for multifamily properties:Affordability: Oklahoma City (OKC) and Tulsa have duplexes and small apartment buildings within a reasonable price range.Landlord-Friendly Laws: Makes property management less stressful.Stable Cash Flow: Properties in Oklahoma often meet or exceed the 1% rule, providing consistent rental income.Growing Economy: Both cities are seeing population and job growth, boosting demand for rentals.Tips for Getting Started:Do Your Homework: Use tools like BiggerPockets calculators to analyze deals and ensure cash flow.Focus on Neighborhoods: In OKC, check areas like Yukon, Edmond, or Midwest City.
