Now that the market is high and most places have a hard time getting contractors, are there any little pockets of areas in the country that actually have a surplus of contractors?

There are many groups that meet across the country.

There are plenty of examples out there across the country of beautiful 100-200 year old neighborhoods with parks, and tidy fronts, and aged buildings well maintained.

However, if you’re really close to another state, I’d be careful where your seller/buyer are located and if they’re also crossing state lines.

I'd definitely be interested in OOS markets in the rest of the country but I understand the need for having an established team before partaking in a venture like that.My interest with BP is to continue to learn about REI and learn what opportunities are available to me.

We intend to buy with cash for quick-closes and then do cash-out refis as fast as possible but would prefer doing an LOC or blanket portfolio loan and cross-collateralizing.

First post to BP and so far everyone has such good insight - I thought I would share my wild experience in Las Vegas.Be weary, there are a lot of slumlords who have milked properties dry, and now want top dollar (these are the 4plexs you see on market for more than 3-4 weeks) The PMs here let these buildings run to **** because a lot of time the owners are out of state/country.

Jonesboro AR’s exciting housing market has been drawing attention from investors all over the country.

I would be open to any other rental properties in the country as well.

Traditional multifamily units are not as common here as in other areas of the country so that makes the market very competitive.
