Investing in out-of-state properties can be a great strategy if approached thoughtfully.

It's abiut touch and convenience = instant gratification and satisfaction.It's worked fantastically for the guest experience and the whole team.

Definitely focusing on offmarket or even on market multifamily homes (minimum 4 units). started off in real estate development last 2 years but the paydays are brutal building then waiting to sell.So now looking to switch up strategies to purchase cashflowing properties and then get back to ground up construction or even possible fix and flips. 

Sounds like a great strategy David.

Often times investors will plan seller financing strategies before asking the owner if its even on the table. 

Have you considered other starting strategies like house hacking or live-in flips?

I’ve focused mainly on Florida but have also looked at options in Sacramento and other slightly more remote locations in CA.While I’m familiar with value-add strategies (ADUs, renovations or storage rentals), these seem like heavy lifts for modest gains.

Consider different strategies like mid and short term rentals as I believe the Portland area would allow for success in both (although I have heard Portland proper is tough on STRs).Best of luck!

Seems like a low risk strategy for you to start taking action on your dreams, which is the crucial ingredient towards reaching FI. 

Maybe we can brainstorm some strategies together!
