Over the past 6 months I've had one of my staff members a has done a fantastic job of building out a website and we have detailed every single property with  professional pictures and all our financials.

Financially, I’m not in a position where I need to rent it out immediately—I can afford to wait a bit if needed.This is my first time as a landlord, and I was lucky with my first tenant, who was fantastic.

Detroit can be a fantastic market with strong cash flow and good appreciation potential, but it’s definitely a unique place with its own quirks.Starting with cash is a smart move, especially in Detroit, where local knowledge and relationships can make a huge difference.

I’ve worked with a lot of investors and property managers in both Texas and Florida, so hopefully, I can help you sort through the options.Florida VibesFlorida could be a fantastic choice if you’re leaning toward short-term rentals.

Areas in PG County Maryland or West Virginia, for example, might offer better opportunities for cash flow with a smaller down payment.That said, if you’re willing to hold long-term, Northern VA can be a fantastic place to invest.

Some of their staff that I worked with actually managing my houses and doing the day to day work were fantastic.

@Lauren Merendino Hey, a dream WITH a plan is fantastic! 

I've seen folks pick up single-family homes here for under $200K, add $20-30K in rehab, and refinance to pull out nearly all their capital.Indianapolis, IN: Indy is another fantastic market for first-time investors.

I’ve helped several clients in similar situations find their first vacation properties here in Florida, and the Panhandle is fantastic for beginners because of its year-round tourism and robust support networks (property managers, cleaning services, etc.).

Thanks Greg, this was fantastic advice, and similar to what the plumber that came out said.
