@Christopher HeidrichRecommend 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?

Two standout locations in North Carolina—Gastonia (28052) and Kannapolis (28081)—continue to offer solid investment potential.

buy house  find renter rent house maintain house pray they pay rent and dont destroy it.

In fact, these properties might be located anywhere-perhaps even in neighborhoods slated for look growth.

Hi,I suggest you create a bank account with one of the bigger banks in your area that has many locations.  

Location, location, location.  

I currently have a house I am renovating that should be worth around 210k-240k and rent for $1,800 - $2,000 in May.

If you stay in Northern Minnesota you could look to locate closer to Duluth which has a large supply of duplexes at prices much below $500K.

Been late on rent.

Do you invest in the Midwest or you're physically located there?
