Now you can always rent it out and just keep it on the down low but just be aware of the risk.

Purchase price: $325,000 Cash invested: $2,485 Sale price: $335,000 Low upfront cost due to creative financing.

@Shaylynn O'LearyI think I may have posted this in response to you in another thread a while back, but here goes again.If you pick a random "low cost" market like the ones you named, don't know anyone there, don't set up a network, buy random properties, and turn them over to people you've never met to manage, you will most likely lose money. 

Quote from @Fernando Martin-Gullans: Hey y’all, I’m a retail investor with 2 SFH rentals worth a combined ~$650k looking to utilize some of my stored equity to buy more out-of-state properties, but I’m not quite sure how best to proceed given that my interest rates are incredibly low (leaning me away from refinancing) and neither property is owner-occupied (which I believe prevents me from using a HELOC).

@Tyran BlockMake me under 25 again and I'd look to acquire a 2-4 unit property with an FHA low-down payment mortgage.

I am seeing a trend in CA that ADU construction is more cost effective (per unit) than buying on the market by a long shot.

Background on me: I need to obtain a graduate degree for promotion at work, but it can be in any field at low-no cost to myself.
