I have a client that bought a condo to rent after living there and the HOA ended up outlawing rentals.

We literally walked the property on live video with you and showed you everything you asked to see.

Right now I'm living in Baltimore, still working 9-5 W-2.

From Brooklyn to Florida and Mississippi, your expertise as an investor, agent, and designer is impressive.We’re excited to have you here and look forward to learning from your experiences as you work to change lives through real estate.

Quote from @Tove Fox: I live in California and am interested in purchasing my first investment property in an A or B neighborhood in one of the above states, ideally under $300k.

He’s wondering if he should rent it out but he did purchase the home and live in for months and has an fha loan.

Having a long-term rental while living abroad is do-able.Flipping houses while abroad, in my opinion, more difficult, especially if its your first go around with real estate.I would recommend taking a flight and staying in the area for a week and inspect the neighborhoods and make connections.You can reach out to @Elenis Camargo who has a PM company in Jacksonville.Best of luck though.

It's not a bad strategy, especially if you live in a lower-priced area with a good rent-to-purchase price ratio.

I live around Huntsville, the epicenter of northern Alabama.

Quote from @Ven Bud: After hearing to lot of bp episodes on negative cash flow, I have a question.I am currently living in my primary residence and planning to purchase an investment property, and obviously it is going to be a negative cashflow (bay area), but I am of the opinion that as long as the rent on the investment property is atleast going to be greater than my current primary residence mortgage it can still considered as positive cash flow investment.The investment property is going to be in a much better location (for office commute, bay area proximity) than my primary residence.
