Welcome to BP @Tony Ramos!

I think @Michael Evans has good advice.  BP has great resources to help you access what strategy would work best for you.

Once you determine your strategy (wholesaling, flipping, buy 'n hold, etc.)  it will be easier to help you.  I buy multifamily properties out-of-state.  If that seems like an area of interest, I would be happy to meet you for a cup of coffee.  I live in Mission Viejo.

Blessings,

bill

@Raymond T. Welcome to BP!

I live in Mission Viejo and invest in out-of-state multifamily properties.  If I can be of assistance, just let me know.

I hear there may be some good sub-markets still in the Portland area.

Welcome to BP @Rachel Beck!

I'm in Mission Viejo and only invest out-of-state (some SFRs but mostly multifamily).  If I can be of assistance, feel free to write!

Good points @Jay Hinrichs!  

I know I take a chance sharing my list.  As soon as I research and write it, it becomes outdated!  I'm sure there are other areas that are hot for some folks that are not listed.  But I love the dialogue.  It will spark more research!

Thanks!

@Blake McHenry I'm a California-based investor with properties in Memphis, Atlanta and Indianapolis. I'm always researching emerging markets and have compiled a Top 15 Real Estate Investment Cities list that might be helpful. I know it always depends on a person's criteria and I look at job growth, local economies, population growth, city development plans, etc. but I also factor in other top REI publications' top ten picks as well. Here is what I have so far:

1.Charlotte 

2.Orlando  

3.Atlanta  

4.Houston  

5.Dallas 

6.Austin 

7.Sacramento  

8.San Antonio 

9.Denver 

10.San Diego  

11.Seattle  

12.Indianapolis  

13.Jacksonville  

14.Memphis  

15.Nashville  

Just food for thought...

@Luke Mauger.  I live in Mission Viejo and would be happy to meet for coffee.  I invest out-of-state and am more focused on multifamily.  Just let me know if you want to meet.

Blessings.

Hello @Joshua Smith!

Welcome to BP!

I'm located in Mission Viejo and am an out-of-state investor.  

Yes, it is different and, at times, challenging but overall it's worth it when you see the returns and leverage your investments in dynamic growing economies in other states.

I'd be happy to chat or answer any questions you may have.  Just let me know.

Regards,

bill

Hi @Doug Seaney!

Welcome to BP!  I too started investing later in life.  I started with SFRs and duplexes but started to see the economies of scales with the duplexes and now am focused primarily on apartments.

If you need anyone to bounce ideas off of feel free to contact me.

Best of luck on your new endeavors!

Hi @Cameron Matteucci!  Welcome to BP!

How is the duplex doing?  Are you happy with the return?  Do you self-manage?  Are you looking to buy more properties in your area?

I am also an investor from California (Mission Viejo) but invest primarily out-of-state.  I started with SFRs and duplexes and am now moving into multifamily properties.  I haven't done any fix n flipping but am managing 28 units.

If I can be of assistance, please feel free to ask my questions.

Best,

bill
