Plus, having a dedicated account for marketing ensures you always have funds to invest in finding your next deal.For those looking to scale their portfolios, this structure becomes even more important.

Quote from @Remy Piazza: Hi BP community. 

It’s refreshing to see someone leveraging both traditional methods and community engagement... it’s a solid mix.

I'm excited for the opportunity to be apart of the community with BP, I reside in the state of Virginia and started my investment journey many years ago at 22 doing fix and flips, I stopped when the market crashed in 2007/2008 and didn't like the way the market looked and I left the investing world, I became a mortgage loan officer, and then processor and later underwriter and learned the backend of the conventional lending world.

Remember, the real estate community is a great resource for support and guidance along the way.Good luck!

Quote from @Austin Wolff: As someone who lived in Los Angeles and also needed to invest out of state, I've dedicated my career to market analysis and selection, and I personally think you've chosen pretty good markets.

well that depends on you and your knowledge and your skill/luck etc and no one else. with stocks and with RE, sometimes you get the turn-around projects too, which can suck up your money and be losers or end up as huge winners, when the community recognizes the value add or the company turns it around.

Note: I have not formally warned the tenant about any of these issues.I am seeking guidance and advice from the BiggerPockets community on how to navigate this challenging situation and successfully evict this tenant.Disclaimer: This is a complex situation, and I understand that legal advice is best obtained from a qualified attorney.

We’re well connected with the Baltimore investor community — all neighborhoods. 

(Okay, I’ll back off on the family and friends.)When I dedicate 45 minutes giving thoughtful advice in response to a DM, and the person doesn’t even respond with a thank you, they should owe me $125.
