Welcome to BP Daniel, I did the same move from Seattle down here a few years back! 

Investing in Wisconsin and Illinois is a great move—both states offer solid opportunities for multifamily and single-family rentals.If you’re looking to connect with like-minded investors or agents, I’d recommend joining local real estate meetups or REIA groups in the areas you’re targeting.

It's one of the hottest markets in the US right now with so much population growth, job growth, and companies moving/developing here (26B Intel headquarters being built here, 68K+ enrollment in Ohio State University, Amazon, FB, Google, Honda, Nationwide, Anduril, etc.).

@James Landsford I would wait to do the remodel after tenants move out before listing it for sale.

Move him out, try again.

If something goes wrong we can always move away. 

. - August 2025 will be 3 years since I moved out.

To me, this is a red flag.He's trying to keep liberals from wanting to move to Texas.

Everything on my side was set to close, and then today the seller is refusing to close on Monday as they have not moved a few pieces of furniture they were supposed to get movers for.

Originally from Pennsylvania, retired from the Navy in 2018, moved to Boise, ID (where I am now), and decided I want to buy my first investment property this year.
