Hey Gregory,I suggest you look into New Western.

I'm Kevin Gallagher from western Maine (Between Bethel and South Paris), passionate about real estate investing for since I started working for investors and managers as a handyman/small GC.

I have had years to think about this having owned a nice slug of A class IE brand new construction in the best school district in the state. and over 300 C and D class with a sprinkling of B class.from Jackson MS to Detroit and many cities in between and on both coasts... 

Like @Alan Asriants and @Matthew Paul said location, location, location, an area during the day and night are very different things in Philadelphia.While the cashflow might be great, the greater the risk the greater the reward, but there are still plenty of other areas where you can get 200-400/month without being near the largest open air drug market on the east coast.

Fellow investor here on the Central Coast!

@Britney Lewin figure out what you want to achieve and where you want to live.You can probably get more bang for your buck in more tertiary areas in Florida versus primary or secondary areas like Orlando, Jacksonville, Daytona, Tampa, St Pete, etc.One area to consider might be the space coast.

We also invest on the coast. 

The gulf coast is a great market and offers opportunities in all 3 areas.

I've primarily focused on west coast markets in 2024 and have found it difficult to make deals pencil.

Hey Ethen, I'm also in CA (Central Coast) and invest in Detroit.
