I’d say just buy something that seems like a decent deal.

(Sorry for all the M's in the title)Fellow BP-ers,An OM crossed my desk which seemed promising, a 9 unit multifamily which had decent cashflow and the numbers would work at a slightly lower offering price. 

@John Teachout is absolutely correct, when I have folks from OOS looking to invest in Des Moines Iowa, I'm always trying to get them to double/triple check local markets to themselves even a 2-hour drive would get away from most large "overpriced" cities but still decent cashflow in those areas.BUT@Tereza Fernandez if you are set on OOS investing, I'm happy to share a bit about the Des Moines market and have contacts in other markets around the state to connect you with.Send me a DM or give me some specifics on here of what you want to know about Des Moines market and I'm happy to share!

If you have a job where you're making decent money, don't quit just yet.

Shot me a message if you would like their information I’m sure my loan officer can help you out.

I have been a Realtor for about 4/5 years now and have a decent amount of liquidity saved up (just under $100k) to be invested into my first rental property.To be honest, I have been considering buying Section8/Affordable housing properties due to their "guaranteed" rent/tenant stability. 

I’m going to screen shot that one to refer back to.

But if it is something I can take upon myself, I would definitely be interested in giving it a shot.

You may need to focus on a less expensive single family of maybe a duplex in an affordable market but a decent 4 plex will be out of your price range.

Granted prices have continued rising since then and I put some decent money into the Orlando house but like I said above, any vacation market should be flooded with listings that meet that metric.On the flipside I would warn of two things...1) I think you need to set your standards higher for STRs.
