Hey all,

Are there any resources you guys recommend for analyzing cosmetic changes when looking to buy a rental? I want to avoid getting in over my head on a project I THOUGHT was great only to find ut it's anything BUT.

So, to put it another way, how can I learn to look at a property that needs cosmetic changes and tell if it will cost too much to bring it up to market standard?

Thanks to all who reply!

This is why I asked first! Thank you so much for the reply!

Hello!

I've recently started a new Real Estate Investing Blog and I can't think of many better places to share my posts! I'd like to get feedback, post suggestions and obviously traffic but I won't mention the name of it until I have permission to do so.

Thank you all!

Hey all,

I was hoping to start my REI journey house hacking a duplex or a triplex and was wondering if anyone who has done this has used a property manager and what their experience was.

Why did/didn’t you go with a property manager and would you have done anything differently?

Thanks to everyone who responds!

@Jim K.

Thank you for the thorough answer I found it very helpful!

So I'm still researching and reading about REI (currently reading The ABCs of Real Estate Investing) and I realized I don't understand how hiring a lawyer or account works.

What exactly would I be asking them for and how would I be charged for their services? Can anyone give me an estimate for how much each costs per year?

Thanks for all the help!

Has anyone here used Roofstock? If so what was your experience like and would you do it again?

Thank you for the helpful response!

Hey all,

I’m still in the knowledge gathering phase when it comes to real estate investing and I was hoping you could help with a couple of questions.

1. Do you recommend getting a real estate license?

2. Can I get a license for a state I don’t live in?

3. Which state do you recommend for full reciprocity in the US?

Thanks for your time, everyone!

Thanks for the response,

Some more information may help, my profession in aviation means my backyard is subject to change since I have a limited number of possible employers and where they are based. I’m interested in buying rental properties and would hire a property manager for out of state investments.

Thanks again!
