I'm looking to purchase my first property with my fiancé (both 25) with the goal being to establish our primary residence together, as well as giving me the opportunity to add equity/value via rehab before moving on and converting the property into a rental within a year or so to kickstart an investment portfolio.An interesting lead that recently came up is my parent's neighbor's house.

Like with so many things, awareness and access to information leads people to take less favorable options when spending their money. 

I would think landlords with 100 day old vacancies would be a good lead opportunity. 

Can anyone lead me through this process of how to find a property as well as how to purchase through creative financing?

This also leads owners to ASSUME simpler is better when it comes to management contracts.

Their target audience are professionals with cash don't don't have the time or desire to become educated and are willing to pay/forgo some revenue for a experienced investment relations firm. 

- Dividing by 3 units (you have to live in one for first 12 months) leads to $1867/unit/monthly rent.- Dividing by 4 units leads to $1400/unit/monthly rent.What are you factoring in your ROI & cashflow calculations for maintenance?

My goal is to find off-market opportunities and present quality leads that fit the needs of active investors.Since I’m working remotely, I’d love to hear from experienced investors:What makes a remote bird-dogging service most valuable to you?

@Brie Schmidt thanks for taking the lead on this. 

Utah leads at 84.2, while Louisiana ranks last at 8.4.
