In no particular order I have listed some of the most popular markets for out of state investorsCincinnati, OhioDayton, OhioToledo, OhioYoungstown, OhioCincinnati, OhioMemphis, TennesseeSaint Louis, MissouriIndianapolis, IndianaDetroit, MichiganErie, PennsylvaniaLouisville, KentuckyMilwaukee, WisconsinJackson, MississippiEach of these markets is popular with turnkey investors because of the low barrier to entry, high rental demand & high rent to price ratio.

Tools like automated messaging and keyless entry can really streamline things. 

I had to do an elaborate french drain system with multiple pumps as the lower level units would get water with hard rains. 

Then you can do a 1031 exchange or sell it at a lower tax rate. 

the lower the cash in (starting with the DP), the quicker you recover your cost. 2)  Solid, as in equity. 

To do a 100% BRRR the cap rate has to be lower then interest rate.

Price of entry is high, rent is super low. 

I understand the rate is competitive on the assumable, but having $300k liquid, you might as well do a lower downpayment and Buy down the rate. 

Sometimes I see properties currently for rent lower than those 3 services.
