Quote from @Ray Joseph: If you attend a local meetup, I'm sure you'll find investors that operate in other cities or states.And you have thousands of out-of-state investors to mingle with right here!

I'm a former general contractor and cabinet maker based in New York City.

I found this deal from my friends parents who live directly across the street.

Quote from @Michael Smythe: Would only recommend on a Class A property in a city with major housing shortage.Then you are likely to get solid white-collar tenants that understand the living arrangement.Otherwise, you'll get transient type tenants that will be nothing but trouble.This was what I was concerned about. 

Quote from @Min Zhang: Cincinnati is one of my favorite cities to live in Ohio.

From an appreciation standpoint, Chicago as a whole is similar to other major cities, each neighborhood appreciates drastically different.

My Chicago mentality has only grown because I continue to grow and build a stronger network of A players here in the city!

Hey BP,Looking for some great websites to use to gather information on different markets, especially OOS investing...One of my personal favorites is "City-data.com", which was also suggested to me by a fellow BP investor!

You know a similar thing happened in Kansas City (more specifically Jackson County, MO) regarding property taxes in 2023.

This means taking days off of work to handle business, dealing with the subs and any deficiencies they may have, spending time dealing with the city, for both permits and inspections.Having GC doing everything won't entirely eliminate your time cost, but it can mitigate it to an extreme degree.My take is that if you are confident that you can be as fast as the GC in handling everything and there is no negative impact to your other business then by all means do it.
