He closed Friday actually (two days ago). I’d be happy to chat more about the current investment market and investment rates, inventory, etc if you’re interested. 

That sounds great Ethan, maybe after the holiday we can connect and discuss.  I don't know much about the Billing area but I fly to several cities in the Montana area and really like it up there.  I'll reach out to ya.  Bozeman seems to be to high on price but do you recommend a particular market in Montana right now?   Thanks

 Katie, appreciate your insight.  I have family in Lakeway just outside of Austin area.  Its a bit pricey but definitely have my eye on a house hack in those parts.  Property there seems to move quite fast so I'll have to get ducks in order but will reach out if that becomes more of a possibility.

Hey Joel, thanks for the response and advice.  I'm starting off the new year with that plan and hope to get in touch with a few solid contacts in each area.  Alabama is another area I'm looking at as will in addition to Austin, Memphis, Montana, Ohio, Indiana.  Are you investing out of state of locally here in SoCal?  All the best!

BiggerPockets, 

So I have spent the last several months scouring the forums, listening to the podcoasts and currently have read 3 books here on Real Estate Investing(The book on Rental Property Investing, Set for Life, and Long Distance Real Estate Investing.  I plan to continue educating myself but ready to pull the trigger and move forward on my first deal.  I currently live in Laguna Niguel Ca, and having difficulty finding local properties that will work/cashflow.  Which is why I've really enjoyed David Greene's new book on out of state investing.  I am not interested in flipping homes and mostly interested in Buy and Hold Rental Property Investing.  Current Markets I'm interested in are (Austin, Kalispell Montana, Indiana, Memphis, Ohio).  I am in the process of finding a Investor Friendly Real Estate Agent, Property Manage & Contractor in these areas).  Any of the more experienced investors have thoughts on any of these particular areas being a good start for a new investor?

I also hope like the idea of House Hacking with a duplex, triplex, quad in Austin and or Montana.  Austin being close to family and Montana just being a place I love to be.  Look forward to any thoughts/advice.

Brendon

Thanks Joe!  That would be great if you have a particular meet-up that you'd recommend.  Appreciate the insight.  Would be interested in hearing about your investing!  All the best...

Hi all my name is Brendon and I am a new member here at Bigger Pockets.  I am relatively new to investing in Real Estate (currently work in the Aviation Industry); and looking forward to contributing and learning from this great community. Hoping to get connected with some local Real Estate Investor groups as well as educate myself on Multi-Family Investment Properties as rentals for the long haul.

I am open to out-of-state opportunities as it's quite difficult to find good deals in Orange County, CA (Texas, KY, TN, OH, Montana)

Thanks,

Brendon
