@Saeed Jassani appears you are not only comparing two different markets, but probably also two different asset classes.Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

Far better than anything you could have done in a stock fund or just about any other real estate investment.As someone who once had 83 sfh rentals in middle class american towns here in illinois, these str's here are without a doubt far better investments.

Are these numbers reasonable for Tulsa (0.9 for rent-to-price ratio and B class neighborhoods focussing on affordable housing) and the duplex should cash-flow about ~$200/door with 25-30% down.For other investors in Tulsa, not targeting value-add (BRRRR, ...) - would you consider this a reasonable deal (don't need a home-run)?

Good stuff, although in our experience, most investors going OOS, don't do enough market research.We really push understanding the property Classes of the market, so someone doesn't put "lipstick" on a Class C or D and sell it to an OOS investor as Class A or B!

Are these Class B, C, or D properties?

You know property condition, units, type, class, rents... to be able to make an offer.

If you can, go several times, so you can watch it happen from the foundation all the way up.If you live close to a store like Home Depot or Lowe's, sometimes they have free classes on "how to install a ceiling fan" or "how to paint". 

I stand by the concepts in my 5/27/2020 post on this BP topic, Buying auction properties in Wake County, NC, that people serious about buying foreclosures should take a few law classes or at least know every detail in their state statutes regarding the process. 

We are looking for now at B/C class neighborhoods where there are investors flipping and there is some room for growth.  

For commercial asset classes, local credit unions can often be an excellent resource for more complicated or unique property types.
