I live in Lawrenceville, GA and am beginning my first house hack, working to purchase another property by the end of the year. 

@Isaac TerryIn terms of it being worthwhile, just like most other markets out of state if the barrier or entry is too high where you live, the landlord laws are not favorable where you live, and you are looking for positive cashflow then Cleveland can be a good option.

We live just outside of city limits and therefore Coconino county. 

I buy and hold and do short term rentals and mid term rentals.Located in Racine Wisconsin  Hello Gabriel: I also live in Racine County there are some great deals our way and including southern milwaukee county too!   

I know in Philadelphia if I had a 2 BR house it would be viewed favorably by tenants who are seeking 2 BR living situations because most inventory will be apartment style living and for this reason would achieve a rent premium.

I'd buy where you live (within an hour or so) for your 1st investment!

We live in Texas, a community property state, and are 50/50 owners.

Hi All, I have an investment property in NJ that was my second home when I lived in PA.

I realize people are trying to make a living, but anyone who cold calls me is the last person I'd use for any transaction (plus I have people for that!).
