I wouldn't be scared to invest our of state - but don't do it without building a solid core that starts (IMO) with your agent (ideally an investor friendly agent).

I am a real estate agent in Norther California and I have a south California cash buyer interested in buying a commercial building in Victorville, Ca.

Having reliable experts on your side looking out for your, and their, best interests can help you catch problems before they ever become one.Not Sticking To A BudgetHaving a clear budget that is not religiously adhered to can be the quickest way to turn a profitable deal into a bottomless money sink.

As an investor and agent here in Columbus Ohio, if you have any questions or want to connect, definitely reach out! 

Respectfully,Lily Rodriguez -Investor friendly Agent

I'll dm you some contacts for financing, agent, reno, etc!

4) Consider meeting with a few agents in your area even if you are just getting started!

Drive around to see which zip codes you see dumpsters and construction happening, look to see where permits are being pulled and which houses are going pending on MLS.Network with a local real estate agent who works primarily with investors soak up their knowledge.
