I guess I need to see this on paper so that I can visualize a clear goal and work towards it.

Hi Chris, When considering areas for real estate investment in Chicago, it's essential to evaluate various factors like market trends, development plans, and neighborhood dynamics.

I have spent a lot of time searching through posts on these forums to get an understanding of different directions and investment decisions that interest me, however I realize times are dynamic and what investments worked 2 years ago may and most likely  would not work the same in todays world. 

I agree that coming here for a visit would help you understand the dynamics of San Antonio so that you can invest wisely for years to come. 

@Sammy RoyInvesting in a single-family rental property from out of state requires careful planning and collaboration with the right professionals, especially in dynamic markets like the Houston suburbs of Cypress, Katy, and Sugar Land.

If we can do the little things consistently, we position ourselves in a place to see progress.Speaking for myself, goals and visualization has proven very beneficial.

It is essential to educate yourself on different real estate investing strategies, financing options, property management techniques, and the dynamics of the local market.Create a group of experts in real estate, such as agents, lenders, contractors, property managers, and attorneys, to simplify the process of investing.

I'm looking forward to learning and growing in this dynamic field alongside such supportive peers! 

Given your situation and the market dynamics, buying a rental property to cash flow and build equity sounds like a strategic move.
