@James Hamling great break down 🔥💯

Great question.

Yes, Oklahoma is a great market to consider, especially for multifamily properties:Affordability: Oklahoma City (OKC) and Tulsa have duplexes and small apartment buildings within a reasonable price range.Landlord-Friendly Laws: Makes property management less stressful.Stable Cash Flow: Properties in Oklahoma often meet or exceed the 1% rule, providing consistent rental income.Growing Economy: Both cities are seeing population and job growth, boosting demand for rentals.Tips for Getting Started:Do Your Homework: Use tools like BiggerPockets calculators to analyze deals and ensure cash flow.Focus on Neighborhoods: In OKC, check areas like Yukon, Edmond, or Midwest City.

@Derick JenningsRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Giving it a bump since it had some great information and suggestions.

Great question!

Multi-family properties are a great way to start since you can house hack and offset costs.What’s the main goal for you?

There is so much to see and do there.Murrells Inlet has many great seafood restaurants! 

I drop them and use a competent local RE agent, who did a great job.   

Lake Lure, for example, has more to offer, is more well-known, and is closer to some other great towns like Black Mountain and Hendersonville.
