Being originally from CA I highly suggest you explore investing out of state.

@Paul C. you might want to put OKC on your list to explore! 

I have been listening to the podcast for the past few months as I have been exploring the idea of building a portfolio of rental properties.

Otherwise, you could explore using commercial lending options. 

Cross posted*I am in a unique situation and would like to know what you would do.A little back story- My husband and I were in the beginning stages of building a new primary residence.

I also recommend exploring other low-down payment products at your local banks and CUs.

Just curious what your take on this is while trying to explore some different options.

I ask because we have a SFR that we build within our development company 2 years ago and would like to explore a conversion....or just sell.

Hi BP community,I am a newbie here and I am interested in exploring a rental opportunity near the Greater Seattle area.

I'm also partnered up on a couple of deals here but I'd like to explore expanding into the US as I read a lot of books & listen to many podcasts about the US market.Over the past few months I have been piecing together small bits of information but I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions of books, podcasts, blogs etc that offer a lot of information on this type of situation.I have been in contact with a number of banks in the US about acquiring finance but most of them are more geared towards helping foreign nationals purchase one property to live in while they move or work within the US.
