the Triangle NC market is hot right now! Lots of businesses moving here and it's been developing rapidly over the past few years.

    No problem, how are things in the PNW? I'm a born and raised Oregonian myself, residing in OKC these days. 

    Cheers!

    I just closed on a 4 plex last Friday and I’m putting a offer in on a duplex this week.

    It’s very expensive, but from reading lots of great books(I can recommend some if you’d like), talking with mentors, and writing out my goals and how I’m going to execute them has been a huge game changer.

    Things are expensive, but there is nothing showing that it won’t be 5x more expensive in 3-5 years.

    So equity growth is great here, I’ll be pushing some great cash flow out of my “poor producing cash flow 4 plex” I’m 5 mins from a awesome hospital and I’ll be renting to traveling nurses(3 month leases)

    The best advice I’ve ever heard.

    The secret to success is already in me.

    so why not educate and learn so I can utilize my full potential. Which means I need to find creative ways to make over looked deals work. If I keep my fundamentals strong and get more creative, I can find value in places others just can’t.

    How’s it out there!? When I look in the Oklahoma City are, There really isn’t any multi family’s for sale.

    Do you think property taxes are low enough to make sense??

    Thank you for responding

    Yes but you still need to analyze each deal carefully and determine if it's a deal for you or not based on your personal investment criteria.

    Goodluck

    Sound wisdom, OKC is experiencing very low inventory, MFHs even more so. Saw a nice triplex pop up, it was gone in a few hours.. Yikes!

    @Patrick Flanagan Always in what the data says. I put this together at the start of the year, a compilation from multiple sources : https://www.biggerpockets.com/.... Many of those already mentioned in here as well.

    @Patrick Flanagan this post has taken off, lots of thoughts. I like to encourage investors to narrow down to markets (like you have done) and then start building a team. The team is the most important part of investing. Doesn’t matter how solid the market is if the team isn’t performing, you know?

    @Alyssa Dyer

    That’s totally true, it’s so hard for your mind to actually focus unless you start to narrow things down!

    Quote from @Jay Yoo:

    @Patrick Flanagan just wanted to make a generic comment here. Investing in real estate out of state should be throughly researched than just a projected cash flow. Hope people can google first “how to find a market for real estate” and go thru all the xyz variables before jumping on!

    Feel free to connect me via DM if you want to network!

    Curious why you said this.

    I am a local real estate investor and full time professional in St. Louis, MO. If anybody is interested in the multifamily market her in STL I'd love to connect and serve as a resource. We have a robust stock of small and midsized multifamily properties that cashflow very nicely with an attractive price to rent ratio. I hope to connect with some of you and help anyway I can in St. Louis!

    @Patrick Flanagan How did you determine your top 7 markets? Is it population growth? The local business environment? What factors do you consider?
