Quote from @Allen Berrebbi: Quote from @Dominic Mazzarella: I have personally owned and managed a multifamily property in Illinois and after selling it I said I would never invest in that state again.

I am actually open to hear about other areas in the states, but the general direction is Jacksonville at the moment.I totally agree about the partnership part.That is why I am working with one :) Are you thinking of buying in Jacksonville as well?

I' m new to real state investing and look to connect  with local investors  Hi @Jean Romelus Lisma I'm an investor in CT and live in Norwalk.

Not to mention, they weren’t aware of my entity information and other organizational details I’d previously sent (ie state formation, scope of work, etc.); easy stuff.

I understand some of the economic factors that can lead one to a particular city or province (or state), but unsure of some of the key elements as you funnel down below that level.Appreciate any insight.Tyler 

I've been tracing wholesalers in califonia for months, like nothing other state finding individual wholasalers in califonia is quite challenging I don't know if it's because the house prices are too high compared to other markets.

Point is the above comments there are many other more effective ways to meet the FINCEN stated objectives for tax evasion, money laundering and terrorism.   

Additional DetailsI’m willing to invest in out-of-state properties, though I prefer areas with good property management options.My primary focus is passive income, but I’m also interested in value-add opportunities.I want to ensure these investments provide strong tax benefits and diversify my portfolio.I’d love to hear from experienced investors:What would you do in my position?

I have been thinking about investing out of state, but am still unsure.
