You will have far more control of the investment and start building a ton of equity in a high appreciating market that can serve you well down the road.OOS investing is great if you can make it work, but it comes with plenty of risks.

I had a super traditional W2 job and, BECAUSE OF BIGGERPOCKETS, made the transition from W2 -> into a non-traditional start-up prop-tech company (fired twice in one month)-> Then, I started our own tech-focused general contracting business serving new to intermediate real estate investors.I've more or less retired as a real estate investor (I still have about 50+ doors, but nearly every one of my deals went sideways for one reason or another), and NOW my ONE THING is working as a GC.

IMO, PHX's current LTR market is better served from an appreciation standpoint.

So, if the form is in the case file, on whom was it served?

Needless to say she did well.During that window I was serving in the military and did not believe I could invest.
