I haven't personally looked, but depending on how far you consider "something nearby" you could start to look towards Bakersfield/Fresno or moving east.

@Josh Levan Mostly northern Tampa, so University, Temple Terrace, Seminole Heights, East Tampa, Tampa Heights.

We buy everywhere, even parts of East Cleveland, where I just got 900 for a 1 br in my 7 unit. 

If you ever want to consider the East Coast (Connecticut) I can be an asset for you.

There are definitely some BRRRR opportunities if you go further South or East as property values will be lower, but demand will also be less...Are you primarily interested in investing in your area or are you open to options elsewhere?

I'm particularly passionate about East rural areas of Dallas.Outside of real estate, I enjoy horseback riding, jet skying, home improvement projects, and spending time with my family & friends.Excited to learn and connect with yawl!

I'm particularly passionate about Georgia, Florida and generally the south east  Outside of real estate, I enjoy time in the outdoors and spent with family and friends .Excited to learn and connect with you all!

Debating selling this 4 unit apt, it's on the east side of the potomac river which is the bad side in DC. 

Have a property (new build) in North East SA, rented for a year & unable to rent for almost ~10 months now, selling in this market would incur > 100K loss as impossible to compete with builders.

As is price point.. this will give you a better long term outcome.if you buy way under median your getting into renter dominated neighborhoods and schools for sure will be bottom ranked.. instead of going East have you considered Vegas.. lowest prop tax's basically in the country. no big weather issues  desert landscape super simple to take care of.. and Stucco homes with tile roofs no big thunder and wind storms to ruin roofs etc etc.. you can buy nice rental house there is a solid B location for about 300k. just worth checking out if you never have..
