Price, taxes, location and life style continue to be the big attractions.

My husband and I dream of owning a business that will fund our lifestyle.

Our current situation is: We’re currently employed making around $100k as a coupleHave low six figures liquidNo debtNeed to earn $20k a year to afford lifestyle to start We’d ideally love to both quit our jobs and start flippingto support ourselves by doing costmetic/light re-habs.

@Andrew ThomasSorry you I was shift my focus from purchasing my personal residence to purchasing my first investment property as a realtor you should have access to a program called realist you can easily go in there and search for out-of-state or out of County owners one of the best ways to Market is handwritten envelopes it is almost a guaranteed open versus any other kind of marketing realist has so much information how long people have owned the property with their mortgages Etc I would also try to find as many wholesalers as possible and sign up for their list and look at how they are packaging their properties you will need to go and join some investment clubs a national Club you could potentially join is called Lifestyles Unlimited I'm sure the information they teach is also available on Bigger Pockets at the end of the day if you have a great deal you will always be able to find an investor for it

So it doesn’t always come down to saying “lifestyle.”as for freedom of movement, we are all aware of the concept of voting with one’s feet.

The choice depends on personal goals and lifestyle preferences.Good luck!

You have to find the balance of investment and current lifestyle. 

Working a full time job to maintain my lifestyle is a necessity right now!
