I also don't want to focus on one market, and not be able to score the right property for who knows how long, and then end up missing out on other locations, as being a long distance land lord is very popular as well.

Plus each house sitting empty for t months seems wasteful.)But it’s hard to find a warm but not hot and humid location.

However I mainly wanted to ask about getting housing leases from traveling nurses.I currently have a 5 bed 2 bath, 1920 sqft home in a great neighborhood located less than 1.5 miles from 2 large hospitals here outside of Richmond.

Where are you located?

But yes we do bifurcate our portfolio and manage it to make sure it’s well balanced as well and not teetering too far one way or the other.Chris, I never knew about SEC audit.

A lot of landlords use platforms like Zillow Rental Manager, Apartments.com, or Avail to list vacancies and screen tenants.

We're an appreciation market, not as much of a cash flow market here, unless you're putting a large down payment or actively managing STR's.Buying out-of-state can get you more cash flow, but the tradeoff is less appreciation (usually), and cash flow can be eaten up by maintenance and expenses.

It’s awesome to see you channeling your sales and business skills into REI.Those strengths will definitely serve you well.Building a solid team—from lenders and agents to property managers and mentors—is key to long-term success.

I only know a few local realtors/ property managers I’m going to meet with them this week to ask more questions. 

As an invetsment-friendly agent (based out of Houston, TX), I’ve seen how the right professional will help you analyze cash flow, manage comforatble contractor bids, and even drive for dollars if you want a broader look at potential comps or deals in the neighborhood.
