Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I'd recommend an investor be liquid 75k - 100k to make sure they can get this done and have a cushion, cause as we know you always need a cushion.

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

Would you recommend the power dialer on podio?

Hopefully, you find it helpful and qualifies us to assist you with your goals:)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Our home LLC in ND but it only costs about $100 and a foreign LLC is all our CPA recommended we do.  

I would recommend that you analyze the operating side of the business and the capital side of the business separately.On the operating side, you can use AirDNA to predict the potential income which is gross revenue.

If not, I do not recommend sheriff sales as a first attempt.

Any recommendations for starting strong would be appreciated.
