Cash Flow Markets - Beginner Investor

Scott Davis
Posted

Hi all, I am planning on acquiring my first investment property (non-primary residance). I read the beginner’s guide on the site and planning on a simpler strategy for my first property:

-Goal: Cash flow

-Type: Single family rental

-Strategy: buy and hold

-Landlord friendly city/state

I am located in San Jose, CA and looking for markets with this strategy. Any recommended markets locally w/in the state or neighboring (Nevada, Oregon, etc) with this strategy? I can start looking at the ROI in local areas in the state before looking far out of state

Looking forward to learning more

@Scott Davis find a market you can drive to.  Even if it's 2, 3, 4 hours away.  Go to REIAs in person.  Network in person.  Meet agents in person.  Visit properties on the weekend in person.  Etc.
