Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, West Virginia, etc.A word of warning: don't invest in a market unless you know there is a good PM to handle your property.

Any tips or suggestions I should keep in mind?

Definitely can help you if you’re in a pinch. 

I'm all in but I must admit the whole game does feel a little intimidating, anytime I think I like a property and I think of calling the realtor, I start having self-doubt (that maybe I'm missing something and I'll come off completely stupid).I would like to ask the seasoned investors, how was your experience with your first deal?

Purchase price: $100,000 Sale price: $140,000 Fix n flip What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I live in SE Rural Iowa. 

I got un-renewed by my old ins and rejected by almost all ins companies (except for some crazy ones quoting me 10k/year) on my primary house, which is far from any fire zone but I had 2 claims on my 2 rentals (I am a small player so under my name not LLC) in the past 3 years so I got fked. 

I have a property in Kansas City that has been freshly renovated.

Current owner has had no issues in the 6 years of ownership and no issues insuring.

I wish the best for your in your endeavors, and perhaps we can be in touch.
