That's because it's the group I help run and I was one of the speakers last month.The markets you mentioned are generally considered fourth-tier markets.

However, I am unsure on how to go about finding the proper handyman/maintenance guy/management team to help run any out-of-state investments I make.

those are much more compelling than running a bunch of data and picking a random low cost market that you don't know anything about and don't have a network in.hope this helps

Anyone have some first hand experience with RADD/REIT that Dutch Mendenhall runs.

Doing this would put my new properties making next to nothing, running some rough numbers I may make $100 or $150 per month on new properties with mortgages that are around $1,500 per month. 

I'm curious what others have run into when comps are very limited. 

Where I am running into an issue is there is a delinquent account on my credit history.

Here is a video that runs down the basics - https://s-media.nyc.gov/agencies/specialenforcement/01-Legal...There is also a prohibited building list - https://www.nyc.gov/site/specialenforcement/registration-law...Here are some more info overall - https://www.nyc.gov/site/specialenforcement/registration-law..All of this makes STRs in the city pretty tough but it certainly not impossible.

That's the first question as real estate is like another job and if you are upgrading properties it's like running a daycare. also what experience do you have?

In order to do this you need to have deal flow and you need to know 1) How to recognize a good, profitable deal, 2) How to put together funds quickly to buy the deal before someone else does and in such a way where you are protected and the deal is protected, 3) How to run the project so that you follow the budget and don't overspend or overbuild, 4) How to attract an end buyer or a renter and which documents to use to protect yourself and the buyer, 5) If you are going to keep the property then you need to know how to set up the property from the start to best help you in the refinance later, and 6) You need to know how you are planning on managing the property from the beginning in order to make sure it will be profitable at the end.
