I moved from Florida to start investing in Columbus due to the same reason.https://www.zillow.com/learn/hottest-housing-markets-2024/

Sorry, this REIA was active for a while, but I moved out of state years ago. 

i think the concerns of the people around you tend to be valid - and so your job isn't to 'convince' them, it's to come at investing (or whatever) from a place of financial strength.my first rental was my former primary residence - i kept it as a rental when i moved out of it. 

If the area is good for that, close to hospitals, universities etc. it might work.Otherwise do the LTR in those and move on.

I am military and one of my favorite methods is targeting fellow military members and buying the homes subject to the existing loan since many members move every 2-3 years and often don't have sufficient equity built up to really make selling the traditional way and paying agent fees worth it especially if they bought using a 0 down VA loan which is very common. 

As of right now I know I need to add an attorney and contractor to my team to move forward.I have intentions of using a private lender and am looking for advice/guidance from anyone that has done a flip by doing so.

SEC 8 then puts their voucher on hold, so they can’t move unless we approve it (or are found to have an unfit property, which would violate our contract with HUD).  

I really want this duplex from a family member but the first floor needs the rehab and 2nd floor is ready to move in.

After having plans and all construction documents done, we decided to move to a different area.

If people are looking to move there full time for a new job, I'm assuming STR is out and people would need a MTR while they're trying to find their forever home or a LTR if they weren't looking to buy.
