I'd recommend searching by zip and interviewing an agent or two to see who you're most comfortable with.

@Desiree BoardWhen deciding between investing locally or out of state, and whether to self-manage or hire a property manager, consider your goals, comfort level, and resources.

They’re ideal for those building portfolios, as they don’t require extensive personal financial documentation.A key tip is to ensure the property’s cash flow comfortably exceeds the lender’s DSCR requirement (typically 1.25x or higher).

A HELOC or cash-out refinance is definitely worth exploring if you want to free up capital for more investments, but make sure it fits your goals and comfort level.

I had holes in my shoes but came to not mind it because I couldn’t afford to buy new ones.One day I wanted to go watch a movie.

Other introverts will feel comfortable with you and that could actually help your journey......more important qualities are honesty, integrity and being a harder worker than others.Just be yourself and go get started.

(This well could be a generational thing and whatever the comfort level of the guest is.)
