Congratulations @Brendan Perlee for your accomplishments. Our group has been investing out of state in two different markets and we have found success in those markets. Sometimes it's hard to take that leap, but once you have taken it and found a way for success, you will never look back. Happy investing.

Hello @Angela Corvino. Sounds like you are on the right track. What areas are you currently buying properties in?

@Michael Barbari I can say I have never had luck with showing a house to a potential tenant during rehab. That's not saying it can't be done, but it hasn't worked for me. When we are almost complete with a rehab to a point where we can take marketing pictures, that's when we list a property for rent.

Hello @Karrie Johnson welcome to BiggerPockets. There are some great resources on this site. Are you looking to wholesale U.S. properties to Canadian investors?

Hi @Adam Moehn. I recommend sites such as Angie's list or Thumbtack. Both sites have helped my find good quality people that have good reviews.

Hello @Tim Wheeler. I recommend contact @Darren Eady. He has a great program that deals with performing notes. 

Hi @Daniel Torres. Our group has been investing in 1st position performing notes. The notes we have been involved in pay 12% annually and they are interest only notes. I would recommend you speak with @Darren Eady. He has a great program for performing notes. 

@Tadj Macier I always recommend putting any investment property in an LLC. This should help protect your personal assets.

@Donald D Michna It's great you are looking to get started investing in real estate. I would recommend joining a local REIA and going to meetings they have. This is a great way to meet local investors and potentially find a mentor to help you not make some of the mistakes that new investors tend to make.
