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.

I live in the Tyler, TX area, but I hold my mortgage licenses in Pennsylvania and Texas.

I currently live in WA state and invest out of state for buy and holds.

To this day I don't even live off of 10% of my gross rents.

We paid off our primary home last year and have been slowly getting the courage to jump into the investing market where we live in the Pacific Northwest.

I live on the main unit. 

Although I don’t have experience in house flipping yet, I’ve successfully run a construction business back home.Due to the war, my family and I had to search for a new place to live.

I need to find a place to live and I don't know what to do. 

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 live around Huntsville, the epicenter of northern Alabama.
