Much appreciate all your advise and look forward to connect with Investor friendly realtors in Austin.

I've done pretty well investing in multifam rentals and I've got friends that always say things like "when are you going to let me in on some of your deals?"

My friend Alex owns several million sq ft of industrial space in MN and he says industrial is the best, the demand was very high for last 10 years, vacancy rate is 3% and he charges on average 2k for 3000 sq ft unit of industrial space, that's why I decided not to do ministorages; more tenants-more problems to solve.

I'd also like to consider Peoria, IL but I understand that IL is not as landlord friendly as the other states I mentioned.What are 3 words of wisdom you'd offer in terms of preparing to be an Out of State investor?

You will need a great set of contractors, a good realtor who understands investments and a really investment friendly mortgage broker.

I wish I had an answer for you but I am a CO investor and I don't know much about SC however a really great investor friendly agent in that area should be able to help you answer these questions and more for you!
