DEBATE: High Cost of Living Area VS Out of State Market | Where To Invest In Real Estate
Long Distance Landlord VS House Hacker
In this video, I sit down with Dion Talk Financial Freedom to debate one of the biggest questions in real estate investing:
Should you invest in your local high-cost market…
OR go out of state where properties are more affordable?
Dion argues that success in expensive markets comes down to discipline, saving aggressively, and house hacking your way in.
I push back hard.
Because the reality is:
Not everyone can house hack
$600K–$700K entry points create massive barriers
Many people will never even get started waiting to “save enough”
This debate gets real as we break down:
The true barrier to entry in high-cost cities
Whether house hacking is actually realistic
Why “just save more” might be terrible advice
How out-of-state investing changes the timeline completely
The mindset vs math argument that divides investors
If you’ve ever wondered whether you should wait and buy local or start investing elsewhere NOW, this is a must-watch.
