I work for a freight brokerage in the logistics industry. 

Most of our work is in rural or edge markets where demand for functional contractor storage and mixed-use space is growing, but options are limited.Always open to connecting with local agents and collaborators who understand the needs of trades, logistics, and build teams in those zones.Let me know if you’re seeing similar trends in your area—happy to compare notes.— Steve

Ideally one LLC per property but with an investor with a large portfolio this seems like logistical nightmare.

That can be a major logistical and financial challenge.I learned this the hard way.

If you are not finding news articles, corporate websites, etc with the guru named, and their linked profile doesn't link to an actual company, I would be skeptical.Before I would sign up for anything, I would talk to her (or any other guru) to understand first: are they even competent enough to teach what they are, and second: the logistics of the course: is it pre-recorded content or live?  

You’ve got some great markets on your list, but I’ll throw in a pitch for Memphis, TN since I work exclusively in this market helping investors build cash-flowing portfolios.Memphis tends to check a lot of the boxes you’re aiming for:Strong rental demand from a diverse job base (logistics, healthcare, manufacturing).Landlord-friendly laws that make it easier for out-of-state owners to operate.A large pool of B- and C-class properties that are newer than what you often find in Midwest markets like Indy or Columbus.Solid cash flow with potential for appreciation in certain zip codes seeing growth and redevelopment.If your goal is turnkey or light-reno SFRs, Memphis has a lot of options that fit — and the investor infrastructure here (agents, PMs, contractors) is built for out-of-state owners, so you can truly be hands-off.Each market on your list has its own nuances, but no matter where you land, I’d focus on:Local PM quality — can they keep occupancy high and expenses low?

@Mike SchelskeReno is attracting attention because of major investments from companies like Tesla (Semi truck + battery production), Google, Apple, and others in manufacturing, tech, and logistics.

Meanwhile your website lists 11 staff members with the following titles: CRM/Email manager (1); SEO Manager (1); Content Creator (3); Director of Advertising (1);  Digital Advertising Specialist (1); Event Logistic Specialist (1); Chief Creative Officer (1); Social Media Manager (1); Senior Social Media Engagement (1)How is this overhead optimizing your real estate portfolio so you can return to making distributions?

It checks a lot of the boxes you’re looking for: landlord-friendly laws, strong local job growth (FedEx, medical, logistics), affordable homes ($100k to $150k) often built post-1970s, and a well-established network of investor-friendly agents and property managers who regularly work with out-of-state buyers.

I'm fairly new to the industry, yet have taken lots of time to understand the logistics and markets seen in real estate wholesale.
