@Kavita Joshi understood! So probably more of a cash flow focus, but you do intend to cash out for appreciation long term. I'm curious how the taxes will impact your cash flow goals. What made you decide on Texas?

@Kiera Underwood Texas was chosen due to my comfort level with the place. I lived there in the past and know areas in and around DFW. I am looking for other areas as well that will have good appreciation in the future. But have to find a good trustworthy team to work with in those places. Taxes is a topic I am still learning about. Would love to hear your thoughts.

If there are multiple offers on a property you are interested in, should you make an offer higher than the listed price? That is, given that your numbers still work out.

Looking for opinion from savvy investors to learn about things your should NOT do...

@Kavita Joshi welcome to BP! Congrats on joining and taking the first steps to getting started in real estate! With the advancement in technology and the mad dash to make everyday life happen remotely I believe now more than ever investing from out of state can be seamless.

I would say essential tip to make that happen is have a team. If you're looking to invest in rental properties you NEED a local agent, lender, property management, and handy man. In the Killeen-Temple area I have had a great experience working with agent Julian Barrientos. @Account Closed is a local lender on BP who's always looking to help other investors in the area. I only wholesale in the area so I don't have any personal experience with property management but I have heard great things about Isbell and Linneman Property Management. When it comes to property management you want a good fit for your personality and the way you do business so I'd call a round and see who meets your expectations AND is very responsive to your requests especially being out-of-state. As far as handy man and being out of state you absolutely cannot sacrifice integrity. I'd recommend Devon Davis and his construction and repair services. He's a devote man and will always treat you right.

Shoot me a message if you would like any of their contact info! I pray many blessings over you and your business. If there is any way I can help please let me know!

Thank you @Andres!! These are extremely valuable resources. I am making note of them and will surely reach out to them as needed.

Thank you @Eric Hegwer. I have started the process of finding agents to help me out in these areas.

@Stone Saathoff Thank you. Financing is not an issue. Boots on the ground is... still looking for reliable trustworthy folks.

@Joseph Cacciapaglia Thank you so much for your insights. I will start looking at the areas you mentioned. And great suggestion to find a property manager beforehand. Any suggestion on what to look for in a management company?

Hello Everyone!

I am new to Biggerpockets and REI. Have been reading and learning for the last couple of months. Looks like I am ready for my first investment. Although I now live in WA, I have selected some Texas cities like Tyler, Longview, Killeen, Temple, San Antonio as I am a previous resident of the area and know a little about that part of state.

Any suggestions on multifamily units here? Expert tips to avoid huge mistakes being out of state would be highly appreciated.

Thank you
