They’ll help you identify properties with strong rental potential, offer access to a network of contractors and inspectors, and negotiate a deal that works for your goals.

With platforms like Airbnb or Hipcamp, you can attract travelers looking for unique stays.

Of course, if you have access to leverage that works, the deal will be even better so read on.b.

@Kent FordI agree with @Ryan Konen regarding areas like San Antonio’s outskirts, parts of Fort Worth, and growing cities like Tyler and Lubbock, which are becoming popular due to relative affordability and job growth.We will see an interest in smaller metro areas where prices are more accessible and a surge in new construction aimed at entry-level buyers.

This could allow you to build equity steadily, reduce the immediate demands on your time, and potentially refinance in a few years to access funds for future investments.Alternative Approach: Small Multi-Family Property: If you're open to it, a small multi-family property (like a duplex or triplex) can combine elements of both strategies.

Since I was new to the game, the Mentorship was a stepping stone to access to people with millions of dollars and I was able and still am able to meet with them and present my deals to them weekly.

Look into markets with steady growth and affordable prices, like Indianapolis, Kansas City, or Chattanooga.You can build your team remotely by contacting property managers, realtors, and contractors online, though meeting in person can help strengthen relationships.Focus on your strategy (buy-and-hold, BRRRR) and use platforms like BiggerPockets to learn and connect with others.

Online options: Many counties have online access to property records through their official websites.

Having a team in place is much more crucial than accessibility from overseas.
