I own all of my investment properties here and work with a lot of out-of-state investors in both the east and west coast that love investing here for the turnkey and BRRRR opportunities that we have here.

Background:My wife and I current live just East of Dallas in a single-family home (past 2 years).

You are correct that this region mostly serves people driving east toward DC for work, so very different from the rest of WV.

TONS of SFR listings in the Troost corridor heading up to the river and then curving East along independence Ave.But they present many challenges; vacancies  (due to below C market tenant pool), increased maintenance and repair costs (due to below C market), and increased cap ex due to homes in this particular region being older (many century homes).Then, even if at the end of the year it does well from a financial analysis standpoint, you may struggle to find the necessary and diligent and high performing property mgmt necessary to manage said property…so then if you self manage OOS, you will need a strong ‘boots on the ground’ team.many challenges come with these ‘$ sexy’ properties.

Plus due to the DTI, the middle class can't push prices up anymore and there's not enough rich people to keep bidding up the current supply rate indefinately.

Just looking to see if this is the expectation nowadays or am I way off on having RentRedi handle this for me. 37$ + tax ( approx 42$) and ask Tenant to  fill the application and pay directly instead of me being middle man.

Rent: If they move in in the middle of the month, I pro-rate it and it's due prior to them moving in and me giving them a door code.

Areas like rural small town Bisbee multiunits are dirt cheap, cash flowing, but factor in the area of middle of no where and not up coming.

In East TX right now a lot of properties won't have positive cash flow if financed, which means they don't make good rentals.

As for high appreciation, that would be on the east side of Seattle.
