@Kent Fang chingI too am in CA but do not own any investment properties here - maybe will consider AirBNB in 2025.My choice for OOS investment includes GOLDSBORO, NC.  --  Goldsboro has a strong real estate market, Low cost of living and affordable properties.

Most of our properties are located near downtown hospitals, making them an ideal choice for these renters.

buying 1-2 rentals that break even/have a little cash flow would be my choice given that I'm able to save 100k a year and potentially have cash flow from my rentals, means I'd still be able to pay my mortgage on the primary and the rentals.

One unit is occupied by a low-income senior not on the Housing Choice Voucher program and paying well below market rent.

In California, a Will alone is usually not sufficient to avoid probate. 

Must meet self sufficiency test for 3-4 units on FHA though, which alot of properties in higher cost areas do not meet.Conventional allows 5% down on 2-4 units.

While Vegas might feel like a good choice because it’s closer, let me make the case for Panama City Beach or Destin—they’re the kind of spots that could turn your first investment into a major win.Here’s the thing: PCB and Destin aren’t just beach towns—they’re vacation magnets.

I figure the upside to the rental scenario is, of course, investing in multiple properties, while a downside would be having to most likely get a conventional loan on the second house with 20+% down and proof of sufficient enough financial reserves to handle two mortgages. 

I’m looking to participate in the Housing Choice Voucher Program and would greatly appreciate any resources or connections to professionals who conduct the required inspections.

Here are my choices as of today.- Investorfuel- 7Figure Flipping - Collective GeniusFor local REIA's, there basically are none after COVID.
