Out of state rental markets

Paul Wolfson

Hello everyone.

I live in a very expensive market and am looking to buy my first rental property. While I would love to make my first purchase in my local market it’s not practical as the price to rent ratio is so high. Having said that, I’m looking for advice/recommendations for cities where the numbers can make sense in today’s market.

PS: since this would be my first investment, I would like to avoid fixer-uppers.
