I’m from NC but have been living in the DMV now 3 years.

I moved from NorCal to live and invest in Reno, NV because I still wanted to be close to the Bay Area but wanted to have much more favorable landlord/tenant laws, low property taxes (that don't reassess on the sale), consistent diversified job growth, and land constraints for higher appreciation. 

Purchase price: $405,000 Cash invested: $180,000 This was sold as a 160 acre ranch, BUT it did have an OLD ranch house that was in too poor of shape to live in.

I own a media business specializing in video for social media and live events.

I live in Northwest Arkansas.

The reason being because of the 25-30% LTV you’ll have to live with on the refinance.

And remember, the journey through the market, with all its ups and downs, is part of a bigger adventure – living the life you've always dreamed of.Keep that in mind as you set out on your own real estate journey.

April in Georgia April:  My first property years ago was a multifamily where I lived in one part while renting out the other units.
