Long distance investing

Hello everyone,

I've been trying to buy property in my home market of NYC, but it's been quite challenging. I'm considering looking into Pennsylvania or upstate New York instead and would appreciate any advice. I've spoken to fellow firefighters who have invested upstate, and they seem to be doing well.

Thanks in advance for all the help!

Hi Manuel, I personally recommend checking out Columbus OH. The macroeconomics in Columbus is booming because of the growing population and strong job market brought by a lot of companies moving and building out here like Intel, Amazon, Google, Meta, etc. I moved here from Portland OR to start house hacking then moved on to purchase rentals and grew my rental portfolio to over seven figures. My out-of-state clients love it here because they are able to purchase deals that are cash flowing, hits the 1% rule, and has lots of appreciation potential. And the rules are landlord-friendly too! Happy to connect and answer any questions you may have.
