The market is crazy right now.Hi Baahir, I'd recommend that you also look into Columbus Ohio and as someone who works with a lot of out of state investors - there's so many catalysts for why you should invest here.

If you are familiar with a market you have an idea where a neighborhood and a set of property characteristics fall within quartiles of that market.

You're speaking my language ; ) We've been buying and renovating properties that have ADU potential for quite a few years now and about a year and a half ago converted one of those ADUs to an MTR and it is working out great.

Maybe folks are not ready to buy, but it kind of whets their appetite to see what's out there in terms of the most unique properties and as a result, what may be some good markets to buy when they are ready. 

I just listened to yet another mastermind class in sure you've heard of it,  WREIN, and as much as if love to join that I'm already in one... but knowing if this is a great option.   

One thing you might also consider when choosing a place to invest out of state is; After you have property there you can visit the area for business and a have tax write off.

Meaning 10k turns into 800k by retirement - that is truly powerful stuff.Once you have a good portion in the markets and a healthy savings account then dip your toes into RE!

It takes a lot of hard work and a lot of money but overtime is very forgiving! 

This will increase the return above what can be obtained on a passive investment.The flipside of having the power to control everything is that it can be alot of work (and a full-time job if a person is putting in sweat equity).

Real estate as an agent or investor is hard work, and a lot of him is a mental battle more than anything.
