Who’s Bought Out-of-State and Regretted It?
Hey BP fam 👋
Out-of-state investing gets talked about a lot — especially on YouTube, TikTok, and podcasts. But what I don’t hear enough are the real stories about when it didn’t go as planned.
So I’m curious:
👉 Who here has bought out-of-state and later regretted it?
- What went wrong?
- Would you do it again — or not at all?
- What would you tell someone considering it now?
I work with a lot of first-time investors who are debating between buying local vs. long-distance, and I try to help them make the right decision for their situation, not just the “trendy” one.
Would love to hear from people who’ve actually been through it — good, bad, or ugly. You might just save someone else a $20K mistake 🙏
