Since my current strategy is BRRRR, I'm looking for a location where I can implement it successfully within my budget.I’d prefer to target the best neighborhoods or subdivisions I can afford, ideally with favorable eviction laws and other key factors.That said, I started wondering if there might be a better strategy to achieve my goals.

Spend time driving for dollars in Tacoma neighborhoods to identify distressed properties.

Purchase price: $295,000 Cash invested: $50,000 Single fam home, desirable neighborhood.

An investor who is buying the duplex next to mine wants to trade a duplex he owns in a neighborhood nearby so he can have 2 duplexes next to each other (long story no need for those details). 

I also recommend buying in a B-class neighborhood so you can learn the ropes with an easier tenant class.

Having a long-term rental while living abroad is do-able.Flipping houses while abroad, in my opinion, more difficult, especially if its your first go around with real estate.I would recommend taking a flight and staying in the area for a week and inspect the neighborhoods and make connections.You can reach out to @Elenis Camargo who has a PM company in Jacksonville.Best of luck though.

Neighborhoods Set the ToneSan Diego’s neighborhoods each have their own vibe, and we’ve learned that tailoring renovations to match is essential.

I recommend talking with an experienced broker who can help you shop multiple lenders  

In neighborhood it is very important to present your self to the home owner next to you, this helps a lot to prevent misunderstandings. also this shows your professionalism.

I did that out of necessity with my first 2 houses and was able to buy in a nicer neighborhood than I could actually afford because they weren't updated.
