I can dig into these cities all day long on the internet, but because I'm going to be living there as well (not just out of state investing) I plan on visiting these cities before making a final choice. 

There is due diligence required, but it can be nice passive income.

Carlos Casanueva I have some extended there, visited 20+ times growing up, have seen where growth is headed and where it isn’t (not that it’s any guarantee).

I’m in the middle of a slow BRRRR with it now and have 4 out of 7 suites rented consisting of 3 hair salons and 1 mortgage broker.Each suite rents for $300 a month.I purchased the building for 24k with no money down at a local bank.ARV should be around 85k which will give me a nice down payment on the next purchase after the refinance.I said all of that to say this, every market is different, it’s possible...

@Alison S - It depends if you want to go for the closing and how often you would like to visit.

Real Estate Express breaks it up nicely and makes it easier to learn from.

I picked up a set of very nice cabinets that my uncle just took out of a kitchen that was only 7 years old that are going to almost perfectly fit in the space i have to work with. 

This would allow my family to continue to visit me and when they leave I can continue with Airbnb.

It's got a nice downtown also. 

Nice job on the rehab!
