Should I be budgeting significantly more sense people are in and out of the property versus them living in a long time? 

Hi All, I have an investment property in NJ that was my second home when I lived in PA.

Hey @Jerry Nogueras - I was in your shoes too, born in NYC, and lived between there and Long Island. 

On the flip side, if you've got a bunch of Section 8 tenants living in a building that's in a neighborhood where a lot of the tenant base has good jobs, high credit scores, and are generally reliable people, you've got the most risky tenants in that tenant base and that ain't what ya want.

@Jerry Zigounakisi'd pick a market close to you, or one you have strong ties in, rather than trying to get to one via math.can you invest where you live, or 1-2 hours from where you live, or where you like to vacation, or where you went to college, or where you plan to move someday?

Buy and Hold investing is a great avenue to begin with as most people live their lives off of residual income. 

I buy and hold and do short term rentals and mid term rentals.Located in Racine Wisconsin  Hello Gabriel: I also live in Racine County there are some great deals our way and including southern milwaukee county too!   

I live in California (Central Coast) and have built a 12-door portfolio in Detroit, which has been a great market for both cash flow and long-term potential.Detroit still offers properties well below the $150k mark, with strong rent-to-price ratios and a market that’s seeing growth in key areas.

I live in the Milwaukee area and want to get started investing locally but eventually want to branch out into other cities and states.

We live, office, and Property Manage in Queen Creek and love it!
