Attending local meetups, analyzing deals regularly, and continuing education would position you for long-term growth.Good luck!

Hi @Jeff Hines, I'm based in Southern California, but I have started my out-of-state real estate journey in Indianapolis.

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

I'm in the first week of education and plan implementation.  

If you're considering such investments in areas like Omaha, Austin, San Antonio, Chicago, or Phoenix, I'd be happy to leverage my experience and network to assist you further.Best of luck with your investing journey!

I am going to continue educating my self while I get enough for the DP and other expenses.

My advice is to analyze your equity, focus on high-growth areas, educate yourself, and start small.

I plan to head to the area in the beginning of December and would love to use the time I spend there to speak with lenders, property managers, etc. to make a more educated decision. 

A lot of folks don't take the time to educate themselves on how to do that. 

Good luck on your journey!
