My recommendation: focus on house hacking plus a simple BRRR-style value add on renewal or turnover, keep expenses tight, and start raising private money by sharing your story and numbers.

Purchased my first duplex style property in Greeley, CO in June 2025 using FHA methods with down payment assistance.

Hi @Nicole Boerema I think you'd be a good fit for my Co-Investing Club, which focuses on passive investing and syndication-style deals.

You won't get the post '08' style collapse.

There were other issues: parking was on the lighter side, access was right in right out on a boulevard style street. 

Which is a little offensive to think that I write in the style of a bland AI bot. 

Make sure that the rent comps come from properties of similar vintage (IE - year built), size (# units), and type (garden style / mixed use midrise / townhomes, etc).

Hey Evan, solid list of markets you’re looking at...those all have pretty different strengths depending on your goals.I work with investors in a few of those areas (Arizona and Texas especially), and what I’ve seen is people usually narrow down their choice by looking at three things:What kind of tenant base they’re comfortable serving (workforce housing vs lifestyle renters)Property taxes and insurance costs (big swings between states)How involved they plan to be in the management sideIf you’re still figuring out what kind of market fits your investing style, I can connect you with a few people who started out-of-state and built small portfolios in those same regions.

You’ll also want to look closely at the lease structure—sometimes these are commercial-style leases instead of residential ones—and make sure whoever’s operating the home has the proper licensing and insurance.
