My fiance and I are looking to buy our first home.  

I have all of my rentals, which in all is about 9, due on the first day of the month with a grace period through the fifth of the month to pay rent.

This killed the middle class. 

First 3 quarters of 2024 are about the same as last year (I'll take it!).

Hey y'all, I'm an out-of-state investor working with a realtor on my first investment property. 

Since this will be my first time buying out of state, does anyone have any advice or experience with this process?

@Saeed Jassani appears you are not only comparing two different markets, but probably also two different asset classes.Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

I lived in it the first 2 years then had to move for work.

I am a first-time rental investor and inherited a tenant when I purchased the property in March.

All:I've recently passed my 15th anniversary of buying my first investment property and have been reflecting on what I've done right and wrong in those years.
