What state is the best to start getting into real estate?

Question

Hey everyone! Once I graduate high school I will no longer be tied down to my city and will be free to move where the money is. I currently live in Oregon and right now and Oregon seems to have very complicated laws when it comes to wholesaling and investing. I would love to move where laws are more free and have good opportunities for investing. Let me know your ideas.

As many of the others said, you can try looking out in the midwest, laws are usually more landlord-friendly and the property is more affordable than out West. @Lance Bolen

I've heard a lot of folks like Indiana, Ohio, and Alabama. I'm here in Ohio and many people from out west invest here. So I'd say start with those three states and see which one grabs your attention!

Hi Lance, I would do some research on where most people are investing. I am personally in the Columbus, OH market.

Hi @Lance Bolen real estate is one of the best ways to start investing! I just bought my first investment property here in Ohio. The market here is moving very quickly so it is a great place to consider investing or even moving to, I was able to close on my property in less than a month!

Here is a good video The Ohio Division of Real Estate made about wholesaling in Ohio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fi54S8nwUA https://www.com.ohio.gov/real/

I'm from central PA that would be a haul for you. However look into areas where landlord laws are in your favor. Look for stable or upcoming markets. Some markets are more volatile than others. Some are more competitive with lack of inventory. Out here in PA You can still by SFH for 75k and multifamily run roughly 75-120k a unit.

Wish you all the best!
