Post: Investing in Indiana and Michigan

I made it a point to buy my first investment property(ies) this year. (Not going to let Corona stop me) I have made up my mind that I will be investing out of state. I am looking at Indiana and Michigan because that is where I grew up and I have people on the ground that I trust to help me (send videos/manage/odd jobs etc) I'm looking through different cities now and still learning the markets. I was wondering if anyone on here is investing in those states and could recommend any specific cities that they think are promising. I am looking at houses up to 100,000. I want it to cashflow from day one. Not afraid of a home that needs some fixing up but not trying to do a huge renovation.I appreciate any helpful tips or insight. Thank you!

Hello Everyone,
I've been listening to Bigger Pockets for a year and a half now, and I am ready to get my feet wet. I knew I wanted to start investing in Real Estate years ago, but until I had my daughter 2 years ago I was not a follow through planner when it came to mapping out my future. I've taken my credit from an embarrassing 480 two years ago to a solid 670. I'm still working to improve it, but I know I am at a place that I have options to make things happen. I currently have limited income and see wholesaling as a route to get extra income that can be used to get me my first rental properties. I am an actress and when I work I make good money but the work is inconsistent and so I have to be very disciplined in budgeting. I am studying for my Real Estate License and want to get into a buy and hold properties. I have heard all the stories about terrible wholesalers, but as a person that loves to study I can see the potential wholesaling possesses when fully educating oneself on what it takes to be an exceptional wholesaler. If you have any information you'd like to share with me, please do. What are some of your favorite wholesaling books? What are your favorite ways to find deals? What is the biggest tip you would like to give me?
I'm excited to start this journey, and appreciate all of you. I am based in Woodland Hills, CA. :)
