Right now southeast Austin is one of the cheaper places to invest and that could see some nice appreciation as Tesla goes there, the airport is there, Circuit of the Americas is out there along with development around there. 

I had a similar experience and while I was in my freshman year of college I purchased a couple properties in Nebraska and rented them out to classmates while I was living in the dorms.

Hi, is it a good idea to use a hard money lender in Omaha Nebraska? 

Furthermore, Laurelton and surrounding southeast Queens areas provide excellent househack opportunities.

Sedalia is located in pettis county around 95 miles east southeast of Kansas City and about the same distance north of Lake of the Ozarks.

Not sure if this helps but I worked with a few people in Seven Springs about an hour southeast and they were pretty successful.

I'm in CA and am primarily looking in the Midwest and Southeast, which explains the interest in ready-to-go properties as I'd be using a PM anyways.Now, because I'm looking out of state, FHA's benefits for live-in 2-4 units wouldn't be in play; as such I'm curious how to think of the differences would be in finding say a 3-4 unit property vs. something larger (but not massive) like 5-10 units.

I'm pretty sure it was a lender in the southwest or southeast Ohio that was doing 10% down.

@Nichelle Jones,Also, are you looking for a Realtor in Southwest or Southeast Florida?

That number is now up to 500 units in a few markets in the southeast.
