Quote from @Diana Teng: Hi all,I think my question above is pretty direct.I'm interested to buy my first rental property, and after doing a brief search I see that there are quite a number of places out-of-state (I live in NY state)  that offer affordable homes that deem to be in hot market areas right now (according to many different articles online). 

Quote from @Tove Fox: I live in California and am interested in purchasing my first investment property in an A or B neighborhood in one of the above states, ideally under $300k.

At minimum I am going to get $1500/month but ideally more if possible.

I'd love to find some other people who are currently invested with Fairway America and - ideally - in this exact investment.Thanks,Matt BrownFairway has put out a ton of deals in a variety of real estate asset classes and strategies.

The city’s robust economic growth and steady population influx continue to drive strong rental demand, making it an ideal choice for long-term investment success.Best of luck!

If you’re working on a time-sensitive flip or renovation, hard money could be ideal.

When I see deals that do pencil for an investor, the LTV is 60% or less (I deal with mostly retail and industrial). 

It’s ideal to have them view the property after the inspection, so they can consider any issues discovered during the inspection in their bid.

We're open to other strategies, but believe that sounds the most ideal so far. 

Ideally, I would like to use the buy and hold strategy, with a 50k budget to get started.
