BP has done such a great job of promoting SFR investing to the masses, that those masses have pushed up real estate prices to where it's now DIFFICULT to cashflow right away.Keep going, but understand you won't get rich in real estate overnight - it's a long-term wealth building strategy.For the short-term, recommend joining a few in-person investor meetings if possible, otherwise online ones.

Local meet ups, facebook groups, anywhere hosts are hanging out join them.

@Patricia Smith Even if someone give you a referral, what meets their expectations, may not meet yours.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

@Maranda TuckerNice to meet you you.

Yep, gotta have a great PM that will not only handle the management, but coordinate renovations, turnovers, aquisitions.Go meet them, look at a few of the properties they manage, ask about their systems, processes, etc.

Meetup is a fantastic app to find real estate meetings around you, and look for local REIA (real estate investor associations) and attend a bunch of meetings.

I'm currently reading "BRRRR" by David Greene and becoming well knowledgeable within BRRRR itself. but I'm also willing to learn hands on and meet new people that I could bring value to but also bring value to myself.

A shower is generally acceptable as long as it meets building code requirements for plumbing and drainage.

I hadn't read the Baltimore story before...wow.Hi Sathiya, some thoughts: - attend in person meet ups in the Boston area to talk to other investors who buy locally and out of state to get their feedback and maybe consider looking within a 2 to 3 hour drive. - cash flow is difficult now with long term rentals even if you pick markets that have lower purchase prices than Boston.

Hi Alaina, Go to the NHREIA meetings, their next one is this Weds in Manchester, awesome group.
