Planning to relocate to the Southeast (SC, NC or Georgia) in 2026 and want to start out by investing in single-family rentals, condos and joining real estate investment groups to invest in multi-unit or commercial properties.My investing goals consist of cash flow for consistent monthly payments and equity for bigger purchases down the road.Looking forward to building a network of real estate professionals and investors to help find new opportunities, stay on top of market trends and provide value to other investors and tenants.Any tips for new investors would be appreciated.Best,Brett HarmonTwitter

Hey Nate, it makes sense to continue building out your investment portfolio in Milwaukee, but if you're looking in the Midwest, I recommend you make sure you get very familiar with the market you're interested in and build your out-of-state team first such as an agent, property manager, lender, and contractors if you're planning on house flipping.I recommend checking out Long-Distance Real Estate Investing by David Greene, where he takes you through how to properly invest out-of-state.

We currently have one rental property and looking at building a primary home.
