Out Of State Investing Vs Foreclosure investments

Out Of State Investing Vs Foreclosure investments

Investor · CO · Member since 2020 · 52 posts · 39 votes

Hello everyone,

I live in Colorado which has seen a huge influx of housing prices in the last several years. Fortunately I was able to buy my first property around 5 years ago and have developed a significant amount of equity. I have made the decision to sell my property in the next few months and I am at a crossroads. I have done a great deal of research into foreclosures and was thinking of using this money to turn the sale of one property into multiple foreclosure properties. However, I have also been entertaining the idea of possibly investing into out of state properties, such as a multi-family or even a small apartment complex.

My question is, what has been your experience with either investing into foreclosures and/or out of state investing? Pros and Cons for each?

The motivation for selling the house is to reinvest the money into more properties, become a better real estate investor, and of course obtain the holy grail of increasing my overall Cash Flow.

    I haven't invested much in foreclosures but know several people who do well with OOS investing.

    That depends on your goals. Colorado has strong appreciation but cash flow is lower. A Midwest market like where I’m at is more cash flow driven. If you want cash flow OOS but local investing should be your best bet.
