Quote from @Ben Matiella:
Hello all,
I am ready to get started on the real estate investing journey, as I have been educating myself for sometime. I am ready to relocate to Las Vegas from Southern California and have an out of state money partner who wants to invest with me in Nevada. I have a few general questions:
1: is it feasible to do a lot of the deal searching from out of state? I don’t have a regular W2 job (I do have 800+ credit though). It would be easier for me to relocate once we have closed that way I don’t have to rent a place in Nevada.
2: would an LLC be ideal for a partnership on a 4plex? He would be providing the down payment from a retirement account, and I would be making the monthly payments, tenant screening and property management etc.
3. If anyone has general advice: agent referral that has worked with investors like this before. Best neighborhoods for this in LV and zone to avoid etc
thanks!
Hi Ben,
Yes, you can do start search from out of state, it would help having a trusted realtor who will help you find a property in a neighborhood that works for you.
Also, reaching out to a lender and getting prequalified to see what your purchase power will be. That way your new agent will have an idea of what to look for and know that you are able to purchase. Your realtor may require this before you start your search.
Let me know if you need any help!
