Transaction costs are real and could be done and boom, you have another property.

I get where you are coming from @Mike Timme I live in an oil boom town and so it isn't feasible or wise for me to invest in my current location so my husband and I decided to invest out of state right from the beginning.

Although I do not see how the guru's promise the 15% government insured returns, I am starting to see how people COULD make money with them.So when I buy a tax lien I am the first hold collector on a property when it is sold.

I grew up in upstate ny and it’s not really a booming area of the us to say the least.If you study the macro economic trends you can see that more people are moving out of upstate ny than into it.Also, small towns are dying accross the country in general with the exception being college towns.Feel free to ask me any specific questions. 

Boom, you get the idea.- Family emergency?

We live in a state where the big multifamily construction boom happened a hundred years ago. 

Of course North Adams has been swept up in the pandemic real estate boom.

Midwest will boom like Texas (more than it already is) and then the sunbelt states will be in a drought.

Didn’t give them away and now our economy is booming that’s why the housing market is crazy. 2008 was a financial disaster approving anyone with a pulse. 

And there´s less risk of boom and bust, as we often see in larger secondary cities.I´d recommend trying to keep the property values over 67k per door, that will make re-financing with commercial lenders much, much easier when you own more than 5 units.
