Likely, you will need to find a property in need of significant work.

Quote from @Sarah Hartstein: Hello everyone, I am brand new to this website and looking forward to gaining some extra insights on property within the US and beyond ;) I started as a part-time Realtor with Keller Williams in Santa Barbara, California, however domestic sales never really “tooted my horn.”

Use a buyer's agent that knows the market, contracts, negotiations, etc.If you really want to learn about investing, get a job in property management. 

Get an attorney and get these losers out then hire a property manager to properly vet any future tenants! 

Hi All,Just purchased my first property and moved from San Diego to Charleston.

Our team along with clients all are heavily investing in the area, and it is a strong place to start. close proximity to New York and New Jersey, paired with extremely affordable property/taxes and high rental demand make it on most people's radar.  

When you do need an LLC is with MF properties or when you have partners.FNMA, FHLMC, FHA & VA all have due-on-sale clauses that may be triggered by transferring via a Quit Claim Deed (QCD) a property from your name to an LLC.

We currently have two rental properties, both owned in our names not in LLC. 

I help facilitate out of state investors find performing rental properties in various markets in the Midwest/midsouth so I am going to be taking notes on the comments here! 

You want to buy a $100k property. - You pay closing costs with cash- You need $100k in crypto as collateral- You get a mortgage on the property for $100k with a lien ON THE PROPERTY.
