@Yang ZengYour situation presents a common dilemma for real estate investors: deciding between investing locally where you might be more familiar with the market but face high property prices, or exploring out-of-state opportunities where properties may be more affordable but come with their own set of challenges.Here are some considerations:Risk Tolerance: Take into account your degree of comfort and risk tolerance while managing properties remotely.Objectives: Specify your investing objectives, including cash flow, appreciation, or a combination of the two.Market study: To fully grasp the development potential, employment opportunities, and rental demand of prospective out-of-state markets, do in-depth market study.Hybrid Strategy: Another option is to choose a hybrid strategy, where you invest in a combination of local properties for stability and simpler management, and you set aside some of your portfolio for out-of-state properties for diversity.Before making a decision, it's essential to consult with real estate professionals, conduct in-depth market research, and possibly network with local investors in the markets you're interested in.Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all answer, and the best strategy depends on your financial goals, risk tolerance, and personal preferences.

Let's keep this discussion professional, ethical, and constructive.Your input could make a significant difference in the success of my real estate ventures, and I'm sure it'll benefit others in the community too.

As that will at least help folks that you reach out to know that you are a real person, with a picture and professional bio.

The house is going to be sold as part of settling the estate with the proceeds going to the nursing home to pay for her care.
