Looking to buy first rental property
Hello everyone,
Looking to buy my first rental property. I am thinking of investing out of my home state (California). Any advice, tips or any specific property management company you recommend. Just want to hear everyone's thoughts.
Thank you

Definitely read David Greene's book on Long-Distance Real Estate Investing to get a better understanding of the process. Turnkey is always an option also! The most important thing is building a team in a market where you invest. When you are not there physically, you have to have someone you trust to take care of your tenants and property. You can find and connect with many people on BP! Use that to your advantage.
