Places in the Midwest like Cleveland, Indianapolis, and Kansas City are good for this too, and in the Southeast, cities like Charlotte, Atlanta, and Raleigh-Durham offer cheap buys and lots of renters.

David Greene wrote "Long Distance Real Estate Investing" which gives you a great tutorial, but I suggest looking at deals in the Midwest or the Southeast to allow your portfolio to get a good base of cash flow, and then once you are ready for some more appreciation focused deals, you can change your target markets.

Hi all,   I am interesting in purchasing a property for rent in south east Florida, mainly Hallandale, Hollywood and South Beach. 

@Nathan G.I invest in smaller Mom/Pop storage facilities in tertiary markets throughout the Southeast.

Would be happy to connect to see how we can partner; I also run the Southeast Charlotte Real Estate meetup and would love to see you there this month!

So, I'm about to close next week, and I've been looking at commercial properties, specifically 5-8 unit ones.I recently made an offer on an 8-unit building in the Southeast, which seemed like a great deal.

just last tuesday I checked bread was 6 dollar something in sack n'save ; the price is not too different than bay area except I could buy a poke in a smaller container and that's enough for few days.Also some city in Hawaii is still considerably very affordable like Hilo and Pahoa and arguably IMO is best little town in US, it's the relaxing and slow daily life that's hard to beat. what I like about Hawaii is it's the closest vibe to south east Asia without having to stay in south east Asia.  

Living in Atlanta, GA and investing in southeast.

I live in the state of Georgia & part of the southeast region, and I should have clarified this is where I reside.

While multi family and new built luxury high rises might be going down it does not appear to affect more desirable properties that offer more space, amenities, better locations.I am in South East in a desirable area.What is your take on rental outlook?
