Federal govt is changing minimum efficiency ratings on equipment in the Southeast US (check for your region if not in the SE).

I am located in southeast Pennsylvania.

LOL  Henry - It is obviously tight (as most deals are in the south east currently) and maybe looking at self managing helps out (Which I do a fair amount of) and also vacancy can be dialed back a fair amount since the tenant is already placed and no leasing fees.

Jerry Rien Why would you give advice on a Nebraska market when you don't know anything about Oregon?

That is why I focus on the Southeast area because of the investment potential.

After getting clarity on my real estate goals, I went after it and I can proudly say that my multifamily investing portfolio sits at 220 units, with 2 other deals that will close escrow within the next 30 days that will more than double the units I'm invested in.About me:I’m Nate, 41 years old and married with three kiddos, and live in Omaha, Nebraska.

@Alexandra Fisher take a look at the Southeast.  

All these markets are growing rapidly and are currently more affordable than areas like Tapa Orlando or southeast Florida (West Palm - Miami) where property prices are too high for the numbers to work, not too mention the exclusive tax breaks you receive.Let me know if I can provide any assistance.

They both cover most of the SouthEast and West Cities. 

Primarily looking to stay in the Midwest/Southeast but open to other markets if they make sense.
