I haven't seen prices drop too dramatically but I have seen homes in my buy box sitting on the market longer and some lowering prices. 

This is an investment property (buy/hold) that I'm planning to develop considering the new 2020 laws.

Need to buy all again.Had stocked packed linen closet but not anymore..need to stock again. 

And there are no counties that ban out of state investors buying investment properties.  

This works with any type of appreciating property such as real estate, stocks, etcDepending on the appreciation rate, you can potentially see asset values double every 7-14 years.Likely around 7 years if the appreciation rate is 8%Likely around 14 years if the appreciation rate is 4%If you buy something for $100,000 and it appreciates to $200,000, you can potentially take a loan on the $100,000 appreciation which would not be considered a taxable event.However, be mindful that you are paying interest on the loan and you have to payback the loan but yes, it would not add on to your taxable income.

The first thing I ask is why am I Buying the property.I always look at the exit strategy first, is it going to be a rental, a lease option sell, am I planning on living in it.

that OR consider buying a property you could short-term rent to people who literally just want to visit the casino if it's a large/decent one. 

Buying My First RentalI was 24, being mentored by Dave for two years and I was ready to jump into real estate investing for myself.

My original goal was to buy a rent-ready duplex and house hack, but based on my pre-approval and what I’ve seen, most multi-family properties in my range need renovations. 

Look for motivated sellers off market and market via cold calling and or direct mail, geofencing, advertising and the like.A good wholesaler is as @Ericka Parrott mentioned, direct to seller, did good underwriting and can deliver an actual "Deal" whether buy and hold or flip.
