Tennessee’s no-state income tax policy can be a nice perk for long-term wealth building.Indianapolis Pros: Having real estate connections in Indy could give you a competitive advantage on deals, local market insights, and trusted contractors, which can be invaluable for a BRRRR strategy.Ultimately, your “competitive advantage” might be stronger where you already have boots on the ground. 

My bread and butter for a number of years were ground up $250/sf outsale single family homes and condos but that was when I could build for $100/SF.

Orlando still seems like a great market so all things equal probably good to start out closer to home where you can have your own boots on the ground

@Scott Trench words can not express how grateful I am for your management style, your passion for truth and honesty, and your commitment to this platform.

I'm very grateful and excited to be here and for the next chapter in my life

They have ways now to know where the oil is under the ground that are more sophisticated than random wildcat drilling.

I think with Boise in particular, and the pacific Northwest in general, positive cashflow is difficult to achieve, especially for an out of state investor since the market is so competitive.Even with boots on the ground, cash flowing properties seem to be a unicorn even when purchasing for 70 cents on the dollar.One opportunity for cashflow in Boise is the ADU play -- new regulations make it more conducive and returns can be 10%+ cash on cash for a property in the right neighborhood.- Kole

And in second, setting up a "plan Z" where if all else fails what does get "burned to the ground" is replaceable, and the wealth center is protected on it's "asset island". 

I know the 20yr city development plans, I know of the waste water treatment facilities that are wrapping up approvals and have not even broke ground yet and exactly how many w/s laterals will be approved with such. 

We have no ground even do anything even i have a buyers line up now.
