Purchase a property in another state and rent out, to prepare the retirement. Is it possible? How to do it?

A colleague of mine bought a property in a northern place before she retired. After the retirement, she lives in Texas half the time, mostly in winter, and lives in the northern place the other half time, mostly in summer.

I think this is a great idea. So I am exploring the idea of buying a property in another place. Probably a small property, maybe a condo. I am interested in Chicago, IL, where I went to school in the past. The areas I enjoy are downtown, or near University of Chicago. I will need a loan to buy, and also need to rent out to pay the mortgage. I am close to 40 yo. I am aware that managing a rental 1000 miles away is a challenge. My plan is to purchase a home warranty, and hire a local property manager. The target property is 2bed 2bath or above. Now I am able to use 50k as down payment. In another 2 years, I might be able to save 100k as down payment.

I know Chicago is a super tenant-friendly place. Is there any trend there to further expand tenant right? What are the home price currently in Chicago? Could the seasoned investors here provide some advice, like where to buy, what price range should I target, particularly if you own a property or rental in another state? Or give me some reality check. I appreciate your input. Thank you.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

How to get started?

Hi! I’m 23F and I just graduated college with an english degree (😅) but i’ve been working in nonprofits since I was 16 and lucked into an amazing first job with an one of the biggest and best real estate non-profits! I love my job so far, but it’s my first time being surrounded by such wealth (and very hard working, deserving individuals.) To be quite honest, I‘ve had a rough few years juggling multiple jobs to finish school, and the idea of myself not living paycheck to paycheck seems light years away. This is all being said, I guess I’m posing the question towards the group of what I can do now to start building that kind of future for myself. I find real estate very interesting, and i’ve loved learning about all the machinations behind development- I’m just not sure where to begin within the industry (investment/rentals are definitely not an option for me yet). I’m also looking to go back to school, but being that I don’t know where to start, I wouldn’t like to begin classes aga...
