Where to start investing in real estate?

Matt Powers

Hi everyone,

I’m new to real estate investing and looking for guidance on where to start. I currently live in upstate New York but am considering relocating and would love advice on where to move based on strong real estate markets.

I’m particularly interested in:

  • -Investing in either short-term rentals (like Airbnbs) or long-term rental properties.
  • -Markets with promising ROI potential and steady demand.
  • -Locations that offer a good balance between affordability and growth opportunities, especially for someone new to real estate investing.

If you’ve relocated for real estate opportunities or know of hot markets to consider, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

There is a million markets to choose from. I would first look at a place where you can transfer job wise that makes the most sense. Best pay compared to cost of living. From there find a house hack in that market.
