I've looked at a few deals in the Hudson valley , mainly westchester. between rent control and taxes I've opted for South East markets.

As the market is softening, you might be able to buy a 4bd/1.5-2ba on a good deal for under 300k, do limited work, and rent it out in the high $2k range to what is a good tenant base.We're starting to think about doing a more extensive renovation for the next project and for that we're looking at South Philly (Grays Ferry/Point Breeze in southwest or Whitman/Pennsport in southeast).

We are focusing in VA and NC but are open to Southeast markets as well. 

hey @Kyle Craven im starting my investing journey and will share my .02 so far looking around DFWi'd say it depends how you go about financing: if you go the conventional route, you'd have to find something on mls and hope 30k covers the down and closing. you'll prob get more market value so CF might be slim but id look at markets like south dallas, south/east garland, mesquite or further suburbs like cleburne, granbury, terrell, farmersville, etc. unfortunately, most will involve some rehabbing to get it rent ready though (so more $$). even condos are more 75k-100k (+ some rehab).if you're looking for more CF margin, you'd have to find an off-market or use a wholesaler. that usually means using a hard-money lender, but those fees add up fast and you gotta put down at least 10% the purchase price. but once again, it'd be a pretty severe flip so more rehabbing cost. have you consider house hacking?

I'm from south east of Kansas City.

Southeast side, little to no renovations and tenants already renting one side. 

So i live in the Southeast and am looking in that general area.

If you want to go where the money is and older, grander neighborhoods, then Myers Park/Southeast Charlotte is where to go.

Own a $510,000 4 bed / 3.5 bath Townhouse (SFH) in Southeast Washington D.C. which I’ve been house hacking since purchase in August 2019.

I would look more towards the midwest/Central region, or parts of the southeast.
