I look forward to continuing to learn from the BiggerPockets community as I navigate my real estate investing journey.I’ve had some success on the eastern shore of Maryland, though even that market has started to frankly become expensive, there are still pockets of potential growth both rent & appreciation, thoigh it’s becoming harder to find, also there is a massive rental shortage out there, a county I just put a property contract on, literally has 3 properties for rent right now, but it does make rental comps quite difficult, outside of that I’ve started looking a little more into western Md and some southern pa markets but still trying to get a feel for them, overall I think in this market places that are affordableish and have some draw will do well with the continued wfh + affordability crisis but keep in mind while I think the eastern shore is actually fairly safe market for the most part a lot of rural areas definitely have boom bust potential and in theory more risk than dc metro, though the low price points do by definition tend to mitigate some of those risks. 

This deal was sourced through New Western and was sold as a 48 hour highest & best.

There are some good property managers over there and contractor rates are cheaper than the western part of the state. 

I’m in the western suburbs.

OR and other Western states.

I live in Western NY, so I'm not sure if the CPA would have to be local to me? 

An older (60's) remodeled home I bought via New Western for $223 that has a current tenant who pays $1650/mo; it has an apartment above a detached garage that was billed as needing "$10k in repairs to get to top of market rent."

For anyone unfamiliar, she is with New Western which is one of the nation's largest wholesaler, if not the largest.

Are you attending any of the events in the western suburbs? 

Plus they collect your info nd ask to sell it to New Western (Wholesalers / Realtors) and OpCity (Realtor.Com), who then sells you as a "lead" to Realtors.
