I would start by finding areas you actually WANT to live and go from there.Picking a place to call home simply because it has a real estate market that you feel will fit your goals is a great way to end up miserable. 

These are done between the buyer (you) and Seller.The situation that is most common to find these properties are in a foreclosure proceeding, or pre-foreclosure. 

We are not the right choice for everyone, but we do help hundreds of investors every year start and progress their investing goals.

Good luck trying to replicate that across multiple markets.If a market is working for you and aligns with your goals, why change it up?

I don't currently have any investment properties, but will likely work with a turn-key property managment in the Memphis/Little Rock area.My goal is to build a good cash-flow portfolio to ease into retirement. 

I live on the west side of London and would be happy to connect and learn more about your goals and see what I can do to help. 

2) You have one rental now, what's your goal of buying more?

Not sure how common or widespread that is, but it has happened.   

My goal is to create generational wealth for my family and to eventually have the financial freedom to say "yes" to travel adventures as a family. 

This really comes down to what your ultimate goal is.
