Hey BP Community!

I'm based in California, and I'm just getting started on my real estate investing journey. I'm new to out-of-state investing and currently exploring opportunities in Texas and Arizona markets that offer solid cash flow and long-term potential.

I'm hoping to connect with experienced investors and local professionals to better understand:

• Which cities or submarkets are investor-friendly

• How to build a reliable out-of-state team (agents, PMs, contractors)

• What to look out for as a first-time remote investor

• Tips on financing, due diligence, and self-managing vs. hiring a PM

If you’re investing in Texas (outside of Austin) or Arizona and are open to sharing your insights, I’d love to learn from you and connect. I’m here to grow, help where I can, and build relationships with like-minded investors.

Feel free to comment or DM me—thanks in advance!
