Great cities for starting investors

Matthew Kalifeh
Posted

Hello BP,

I am currently an undergrad student with 2.5 semesters left (Finance Major RE Minor) I have read many books and have listened to many podcasts on RE investing so my mind has been set to do this for a while now.

I plan on investing long-distance eventually but am looking to move to an area that has a strong RE market that I can invest in sooner rather than later, and lots to offer for young people. I have done plenty of research and taken multiple "Which city should I move to based off personality" quizzes and get different answers every time. 

I am going to house hack as soon as I can, and want to start in wholesale and eventually move into rental properties.  

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Also, no California or New York or anywhere where the cost of living is on the outrageous side.

Thank you so much.

Hey @Matthew Kalifeh, I would strongly recommend you take a closer look at Tulsa, Oklahoma!
