Hi Everyone,
My husband and I will be making our first move soon to start our career as investors. We currently live in Hawaii and are not able to find properties that can carry iteself through rental income. The cost of housing is crazy here. We currently have a home valued at $750 - we are not sure if we want to sell our home or rent it out. If we sell we will be able to use the profit for a new investment. My biggest question is - WHERE do we move? These post have been a great help. We are looking for a property to fix up and gain equity by selling. We would prefer a safe neighborhood being we would be living near or in our project home. Is Arizona or Texas good areas? We would like to flip ASAP and we will be doing this as a full time business. We missed the BANG in Hawaii - In the past 2 years house has tripled in price. We purchased our home for $280 3 years ago. Boy, do we wish we bought more property then. We would like to flip one property first and later hold 2 to rent. Any help with a destination would be great. We would like an area that the appreciation of the home is expected to move up quickly in a short period of time. We have also read that investing 15 min outside of big city areas are the places to invest in. Is this true? Thanks for all of you feedback.
