I run into this issue frequently where NJ investors are looking into out of state thinking it is cheaper, that's not always the case. 

You can then use that income that to put downpayments on real estate properties at a frequent basis.

My name is Jed Butikofer and I am currently located just outside Bakersfield, CA, but move frequently for work. 

It just makes life easier - they shop a variety of insurers and are more easily able to compare apples to apples because they know how the various companies present coverages.

There are some exceptions in each market where the neighborhood is really nice and there are a huge variety of finishes / price points but I still would want to be with the comps of whatever price point I am shooting for. 

I would do this every 12-15 months if my spouse wasn’t totally opposed to moving frequently.

If my partner wasn’t risk adverse and unwilling to move frequently I would buy a new property every 1-1&1/2 years using this method.

Frequent turnovers can quickly eat into your profits.Instead, I’d recommend building up a solid reserve fund and addressing work orders promptly.

A couple expense assumptions:Insurance: .6% of market value per year ($1300 to $1700 for garden variety SFH)Repair buffer: $50/moPM: 8% of gross rent + 80% of first months rent HOA: Ranges from $0 to $50/mo.

While this brokerage would start in Ann Arbor, I would want it to expand to all of Southeast Michigan, then statewide, and ultimately nationwide.Initial target users would be investors/flippers, in other words, more frequent flyers than typical homebuyers.
