Personally I wouldn't get into an investment that only provided a 5% CoC return.

Real Estate investing and management of all my properties is all I do.

We already own a primary residence and vacation home, so this will be seen as an investment property. 

I am new to tax sale investing.

This is my first investment and planning to invest in multiple properties over the next 5 years get financially independent. please suggest good markets to invest in midwest. i am currently looking in Kansas, Iowa and IL.

As a fellow professional looking to get into real estate investing, I can definitely relate to the challenges of balancing your practice with exploring investment opportunities.

@Marc ShinRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.
