Want to do BTR but don’t know where

[Sadie Wilborn]

So I am coming into a large sum of money soon, and have had my mind set on Build to Rent and house hacking. I want to stay on the West Coast, I am originally from southern CA but don't think it's smart to do that here. What are some good areas to look into on this coast and a little inland? I want it to be big enough for a few properties like a townhome complex (10-15 units) but don't want to be anywhere it's too cold or humid. (I know I'm spoiled lol) also any advice on BTR as I am first time in real estate and have been watching many bigger pockets podcasts on the subject and want to learn as much as possible.

im currently leaning towards Arizona or Oregon. But those were just the first to come to mind.

Hi @Sadie Wilborn, welcome to the BP Forum! Am I understanding you right, you want your first BTR project to be a project with up to 15 units?
