We’ve found a great option for us in Tennessee with a cabin (currently used as a str) and a mobile home.

I have a W-2 Job, capital saved up for a down payment (or two), and a buy box based on my affordability.

These syndication can provide an 8%+ cash-on-cash return - providing investors monthly cash flow - and a 15-20% IRR over the length of the project.

I am also a project manager and a architectural designer for a real estate developer in NYC. 

Out-of-state investing makes the most sense for me—it’s impossible to cash flow anywhere near me, and moving wouldn’t make sense because I wouldn’t be able to earn the same wages or find the same kind of jobs.Before this purchase, I already owned two properties: a long-term rental outside Houston, Texas, and a short-term rental in the Sierras in California.

I am in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area and I am a new landlord, having purchased my first rental property about two and a half years ago.
