@Dwayne Clarke going to take an educated guess that what you were cautioned about is buying someone else's problem.Over the last couple of years, many OOS investors bought a bunch of SFR and MFR properties with LITTLE due diligence.Many were sold Class C & D properties that they thought, or expected to perform like, were Class A or B.Once they figured out what the properties really were - via tenant nonperformance and never-ending maintenance issues, they looked to sell them.If you know what you are doing, their loss can be your gain.If you are new and do NOT know what you are doing, then you'll just be the next "sucker" that gets taken.

It'll really depend on how many properties do you have, if you have someone to help you with that and many other factors, that can make this answer completely different.

I know someone who bought 20 lots on tax sale in PA and none of them are buildable / usable for any type of use so they are bsaically worthless.

I know someone will say "but inflation!" 

@Al SewardYou seem to have answered your own question but are hoping someone on here has a secret you haven't thought of.

There isn’t much information online about this niche, can someone please help me out? 

Please help Hi Josh, I personally love Columbus Ohio and as someone who works with a lot of out of state investors - there's so many catalysts for why you should invest here.

You might try to find someone close to houston and see what feedback they give you.

Coming from someone who bought their first investment properties out-of-state, I would highly recommend it!

Would you lend a million dollars to someone who had no clue of the ups and downs and the bumps in the road of flipping houses.This is why I build out networks in the midwest for those looking to break in because those 90k houses with the 40k rehab, those houses are the deal 1 deals a lender would like to see.
