Hello everyone! 

I've been analyzing properties and deals using various parameters, but there's one aspect missing from my analysis. 

Is there a tool available that tracks trends in the residential rental market? 

I currently use Rent Estimator from BiggerPockets and Rentometer, but I'm looking for more (historical) insights—specifically data on the number of houses for rent each month and the rental prices. 

This would help me identify market trends and gain deeper insights.

Appreciate your time to answer this!

Hi everyone!

I'm an international worker living in Florida and seeking a real estate agent (investor friendly) specializing in out-of-state investors in Tuscaloosa, AL, and Toledo, OH.

I'm focused on long-term investments using the BRRR strategy or creative cosmetic rehabs.

Any recommendations?

Thank you for your insights Dan!

Appreciate your honesty Nicholas!

Thank you for your message, Nicholas. 

There are a couple of things I should have mentioned. 

I’m on an H1B visa, so I can’t do any active work myself, which means I'll need to delegate (I understand this will affect margins, but I’m okay with that). 

Also, the costs in Florida are high, with expenses for insurance and the hurricane risk adding up. Since I work fully remote, I plan to travel frequently, especially for the first BRRR project.

Hello! I'm new to Bigger Pockets and have been immersing myself in the podcast and studying various aspects of real estate investing—from market analysis to financing—for the past two months. I'm planning to actively pursue my first investment property in January and am interested in a BRRRR strategy. Since I live in Florida, where many properties are currently out of my price range, I'll be investing out of state.

I have a few questions and would appreciate some guidance:

1. I plan to rehab the property but don’t yet have any contacts for getting quotes. Where can I find a reliable general contractor?

2. Should I check back here once I finalize the market/area I’m looking to invest in?

3. I’ll also need a property manager. When would you recommend starting the search for one? Should I wait until I’ve purchased the property, or start once I’ve decided on the target market and city?

Overall, I’d love advice on the ideal timeline for finding team members—like a general contractor and property manager—for an out-of-state investment. 

Thank you!
