@Elizaveta Dolzhenko ...I would not consider on first property..Too risky..Be patient and wait for most qualified...Sometimes I consider if it's a difficult property(2 BR) or marketing for more than 30 days..

I have been more than patient.

You really need to be patient on tenant screening and make sure the right tenant is placed.

Think of this like syndicators do - many look at a 100 potential buys, analyze only 10-20% and offer on less than 5% over months and months of time.So BE PATIENT:)

I think you're wise to look towards those markets but you'll still have to be patient.

@Jesiah Martinezhow far out you live from your job / community / etc. is a personal decision, but I think this is a great way to start, and I'd encourage you to be patient; cast a wide net; and look at lots of properties. good luck!

You should be able to find good values if you are patient.

Good thing the tenants are patient & never complained.

Be patient.  

I help people daily and am counted on for my attention to patient care.
