Welcome to Bigger Pockets @Joshua KeimAs a fellow Memphis native, I’d love the opportunity to connect in person and discuss strategies with you!

Personally, I self manage but have built systems to allow it to be fully remote and very passive.

I personally wouldn't buy an old home as a rental, I only buy 1980 or newer for myself, all of my properties are in the north part of Gilbert built between 1985-2003.

And not even posts where users give me and/or BiggerPockets negative feedback, no matter how much I do not like the posts, or how untruthful I personally feel them to be.

I know a couple of the Realtors on the team at Suncoast Property Management, Acquisitions & New Construction Manager, Gretchen Kornutik, REALTOR® - Good person.

Purchase price: $330,000 Cash invested: $40,000 Hey everyone, I wanted to share a personal story about a property I purchased and renovated in Hudson County, NJ.

Attend in person, bid, if you win you have to pay right then via a cashiers check.

Quote from @Jeff Sanders: Personally coming from an agent/investor in CA, I always get a quote from a broker of mine and make sure I am knowledgeable with the fees/costs.

What I was getting at is that even investing "out of state", let alone out of the country, is more difficult when you don't have any personal connections and even more difficult with your first property.

Wouldn't hurt to look in to both to give yourself the best chance at finding the best loan product.
