I've been following deals on the investorlift platform for the past year without acting on anything because I'm trying to get a feel for what's on offer to see if it makes any sense for me. I currently own RE in Texas, Missouri, and Kentucky, so those are the main markets I've been tracking, plus Ohio and Indiana for proximity. I've only ever bought property through the MLS or through a realtor who helped me find something off-market. If you have used investorlift, I'd love to learn more about how it works, and what your experience has been, both positive and negative.

Hey Brad, welcome to BP! It sounds like you’re really taking a thoughtful approach by tracking different markets and getting a feel for deals before jumping in. I’ve found that platforms like Investorlift can be useful for discovering off-market opportunities, but the experience really depends on how active the sellers are and how quickly you can move—sometimes the listings are solid deals, other times they’re priced optimistically or lack complete info, so due diligence is key. Since you’re already investing in Texas, Missouri, and Kentucky, and looking at nearby markets like Ohio and Indiana, I’d suggest keeping an eye on Columbus, Ohio. I moved here from Portland in 2020 to start investing and now own 10+ rentals, and I’ve seen that the macroeconomics are really strong—population growth, job growth, and major companies like Intel, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Honda, and Microsoft expanding here. You can still find properties in the $120–180K range that hit the 1% rule and cash flow right away, which makes it an attractive market for out-of-state investors. Happy to connect and answer any questions you have!

I've been in a similar spot, keeping an eye on platforms like Investorlift while mostly buying through MLS or trusted realtors. From my experience, the key is really knowing the local markets, especially in the Midwest, so you can spot undervalued, off-market deals that actually make sense for cash flow. For out-of-state investing, having boots on the ground or a reliable team locally makes all the difference; otherwise, you're just guessing on condition, rents, and neighborhood trends. It's a solid tool, but pairing it with local intel is what turns listings into actual opportunities.
