Appreciation is a bit riskier since it depends on factors we can't always control, such as school levies passing, business success, crime reduction, etc.In my opinion, it’s hard as a newbie to jump into appreciation properties, as they require a lot more initial capital to acquire.

I've read Michael Blank's book: Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing and have started to do some research on markets I want to invest in. 

We have some capital to work with, but would really be interested in finding out if this is a great way to go. 

If it didn’t take a long time to generate that cash(1 year or less), I would consider doing syndication and wait and see how it went, while continuing to educate myself on local market conditions for an investment property.

Hi,When considering investing out of state, is it best practice to find a local lender in the market I want to invest in?

I hope to connect with people in the community, learn how to shop investments, find markets, and all things CRE.

Glad to hear you've decided on a market, have a plan, and budget in place!

No, not like that...I mean let's have @Jay Hinrichs fly his Cirrus down to Santa Rosa, I'll pick him up at the airport and bring him to Praxis Capital world headquarters and he can do his podcast from here.
