Finding the right market

[Bryan La]

Hi Bigger Pockets community! I'm looking to buy my first distressed property and rehab. How do I determine which market is best for my budget ? I'm looking to spend about 40-50k cash offer plus rehab cost 

Thank you

Are there other cities that you have an "unfair advantage" in such as a relative that's a contractor, a college classmate now employed as a lending officer, a close friend that can be your boots on the ground, etc. Having an advantage in a market imo is more important than picking the perfect market on paper.

Remington Lyman, an investor-friendly realtor, is outstanding in Columbus, OH - would suggest you read posts in which he replies.

Good luck!
