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.
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.
