Short term gems, mid term gems.

The cost of entry is much higher than the mid-west but so are retail houses.

Thanks again for all the help.You didn't indicate your reasoning for OOS investing, below are the reasons why and where most investors target.CF, almost no Appreciation, meet the 1% rule - Mid-western statesNone to minimal CF, mid to high appreciation - TX, FL, TN, CO, IDHope this helps..

After doing a few jobs with others who are investors, I’ve decided to dip my toes in the game and am looking for flips or light-mid rehab and holds. 

If this was my first chance at making it big on small SFR's or mid size multi family I would take what I say to heart.  

I lived there for 1 year then moved out and started renting the house on Air BNB in the Summer and mid term rentals in the winter.

The top investment properties that are 3/2 range from mid 300k to 600k+ depending on the area.

Hey Brandon, the mid-market is pretty hot and affordable.

Among the myriad of options, mid-term rentals are increasingly standing out as a golden opportunity.

IMHO.the way to buy mid west rust belt props is to figure out the Median home price in the MSA and buy at that or a little higher.. dont buy at 50% or less of the Median you will not have a good experience again IMHO and after funding literally thousands of these homes over 22 years.
