Greg and Nate go solo for this one, breaking down the question almost every new real estate investor gets stuck on, whether to buy in your own backyard or go looking for cash flow somewhere else. Between them they have local rentals, an out of state turnkey property, and a LoanBidz client base that runs from California investors buying in Ohio to operators scattered across the Midwest.

 

They cover what you actually gain by walking your own properties, why an out of state deal makes the team a non negotiable from day one, how a turnkey provider handles repairs without ever calling you, and the limiting belief that quietly stops local investors from buying their next property. If you are staring down your first deal and stuck in analysis paralysis over the location question, this is the conversation that unsticks you.
