So - somewhere 2 hours away, or somewhere you like to vacation in, or where all your family lives, or where you plan to move someday.Too many people are trying to do exactly what you're doing - pick a market based on a formula - and they end up buying a random 'cheap' property thousands of miles away, turn it over to people they've never met or even spoken to, and then... lose money.  

I've picked up several really good deals because a tenant operator ran the business into the ground to a point where the property owners just wanted or needed out. 

I'll figure that out after I pick a strategy.

I just picked up the tax deed yesterday and am filing it today. 

You’ll pick up so much just by listening to people who’ve been through the highs and lows of the market.

And North Carolina at large has become a popular pick for both investors and relocators over the last half a decade or so.

I live in Gilbert and own 5 rentals here, but I also help other investors find, analyze, buy and manage properties all over the valley, and Casa Grande is a top pick from some of my other investors.

If you're open to exploring new markets, this could be a great way to pick up properties for cheap and build cash flow with a much smaller upfront investment.
