Iver been investing for 30 years I Little Rock, Arkansas.

While some markets like Little Rock or Memphis may have lower entrance costs, they aren't without their own risks, and Houston has historically provided consistent and stable appreciation without the major dips smaller markets tend to endure.This is certainly the first time in a while I'd consider us to be entering a buyers market, so timing should be great for those willing to look. 

Out-of-state Section 8 investing can absolutely work, but the key is building a rock-solid team and having eyes wide open about the realities of these markets.

Quote from @Brian Teeter: Im an investor, contractor and property manager in Little Rock, Arkansas and work with a lot of out of state investors myself.  

The key is going to be building a rock-solid team on the ground: an investor-friendly agent who understands BRRRR, a trustworthy contractor (this part is critical), and a reliable property manager who can also help coordinate during the rehab phase.

Looking forward to hearing how others are approaching this shift — or if you think the roles should stay separate.Brian TeeterTurnkey Property Management | Little Rock & Memphis“Not just managing doors — managing portfolios.”

Ive been operating as a Turnkey / BRRR provider in Little Rock, Arkansas for ten years.  

Roof repair cost doubled because contractors charged premium for the fact that to get workers they needed to pay double - because workers would be constantly harassed by “neighbors” who thought throwing rocks at workers on the roof was a fun sport. 

Realistic monthly income can be looked at by scouring Furnished Finder, but on a 3-bed/2-bath home in Little Rock, I can get $5200/mo, but it is 2800 square feet.
