What States To Invest In?

Some people believe they have to invest in their backyard, in the state they live in. I believe there are other indicators to look for that are more important than where you live.
What should you look for in a market when investing in multifamily real estate?
- Population growth
- Household formation growth
- Job growth
- Income growth
- Landlord friendly
Why are these factors important?
- increased population and household formation growth will increase the number of people competing for both residential homes and multifamily rentals
- it’s important to see job growth and income growth so that tenants are able to afford the rent for multifamily properties, especially as rental rates continue to rise
What states do I think are good growth markets?
- TX, Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio
- AZ, FL, NC, SC, TN, GA
- Other markets: these are markets that I’ve been told from other strong syndicators that provide stable cash flow; Indianapolis, Cleveland, Louisville
Why do I share this story with you?
When I started looking to invest in real estate I did not know what to look for. I thought buying in my backyard was important. I learned from others that the above factors are more important indicators. I decided to invest in growth markets and the returns thus far have been impressive.
