There are many markets that this will work great. 

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

Or you could decide that you're going to hang in there for family/legacy reasons, and keep raising the rent whenever the market supports... and whenever you turn over a set of tenants.

Finding deals outside of California can definitely open up new opportunities, especially given the cost of living and market dynamics in the state.When looking for properties in other states, consider focusing on areas with strong rental demand, economic growth, and population increase.

My focus is simple: helping out-of-state investors like you unlock the full potential of the Birmingham market.

All channels can work, but in my experience, the greatest oppportunities often pop up when you know exactly what your returns need to look like and keep your ear to the ground in your market.

I guess with certain markets its achievable!

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

Also, we're not getting anywhere near market rent for the home since its only half the home being rented, however we do feel that we're getting what similar efficiencies are getting in the neighborhood.   

We do not raise it to market rents, we keep it at lease 10% below to try and reduce turnover.
