Hello Friends,I own a 1982-built ground-level condo (one unit above, one below).

I’m currently in the research phase for obtaining my first property, and I am looking to gain insight on market trends, investment strategies, and project management.

Sees a lot of off market stuff because he is a property manager as well.The toughest part about investing outside of your locality is finding boots on the ground that you can trust.

I’m based in Houston, TX, but I know how critical it is to find someone on the ground who’s a true investor ally, not just another agent.

It sounds like you've done a lot of the preparation work required to hit the ground running. 

You almost certainly have grounds to evict him.

If you manage to get this off the ground and do some verified - meaning paperwork is in your name, or company's name, etc - projects that turn a profit, and you build some capital in a bank, you should be able to go right to that lender after a year or two and start a relationship no problem.  

This gross number is higher than my commission on the units they service, however it does not phase me. 

Thanks for readingDavid Do you have any connections or boots on the ground in Duluth, MN?

I am extremely gung-ho to have boots and the ground and gain more knowledge by the day.I am curious, as an agent who has been licensed for a few years, sold a few homes, but is coming back from hiatus, does anyone have any advice on where to begin?
