Hopefully, not an expensive tenant or Fair Housing lawsuit.100% of what @Travis Biziorek states is true, but he left out a key fact - he lived in the Detroit area when he started investing here, so was able to self-manage and meet everyone he had to hire face-to-face.

Many investors successfully build portfolios remotely, but thorough market research and assembling a strong local team (agent, lender, contractor, PM) are key.

Hi @Cosmo DePintoHave you considered a fully turn-key option? 

🙏☺️ I completely understand where you’re coming from & you’re right that owning real estate is a key step toward truly being an investor.I’m still new to the game, but I have a solid plan in place to move toward ownership & establish myself as a real estate investor.

Never thought about it but that is clearly a key piece of knowledge that can come in handy whenever needed.

You could certainly reach this demographic, but it could also cost you substantially more than the return.For the money, your best bet is probably a dedicated website for your property with the key words that you want to convey.

And what is your price point and are you looking for turn-key properties or something along the lines of a "fixer upper"?

Be patient and stay focused.   

This speaks volumes about the challenges Buyers are facing when it comes to saving enough cash to purchase a home.It’s a reminder that understanding what Buyers need most is key to creating deals that work for everyone.

I am new to the industry and have jumped into the deep end but I am ready to learn, network, and be of a valuable resource.What are some key pointers (that can be shared) that I should focus on when doing cold calls/ emails/ drop ins and letting each broker/lender/agents/business know that I am not here to sell you ANYTHING?
