Once i understand all prospective of renting then i may go for fix and rent.

Anyone from a housewife with no work experience to a former Navy enlisted sailor can become a realtor in 8 weeks and THEN help a Buyer or Seller make decisions on the most expensive asset most people will ever own. ( Think about that for an hour or two) The real purpose of Real Estate School is to familiarize a prospective Agent with the Laws that the BROKER must follow and keep the BROKER out of trouble. . 

Thank you in advance for any guidanceHere in MA the key to the tenant friendly laws, courts, enforcement is to really look at prospective tenants closely AND have a knowledgeable attorney ready to help you out as needed.

Take into account elements including the property's potential for appreciation, safety, amenities, and closeness to the workplace.Make sure to thoroughly vet prospective housemates if you're renting out rooms.

To that end, does anyone have advice on what questions I should ask prospective agents?

Comparatively speaking to other large American cities, the cost of living is cheaper.The city provides a wide range of communities that may accommodate various tastes as well as a rich cultural experience.Austin, Texas: Young professionals are increasingly choosing Austin as their destination because of its robust employment market and lively culture.Although there are many prospects for both conventional and innovative financing solutions, the real estate market may be competitive.Before making a decision, consider visiting these areas, exploring the local real estate market, and connecting with local investors and real estate professionals.

@Jack QuinFor us, a 530 credit score is a no-go from the start. 3x income is great, but they do not pay their bills.When I self-managed and listed on Zillow or any other platforms, I usually would initially assess people by speaking to them on the phone. 2-5 minutes on a phone call with a prospective tenant will give you a good idea of what to expect.

@Yang ZengYour situation presents a common dilemma for real estate investors: deciding between investing locally where you might be more familiar with the market but face high property prices, or exploring out-of-state opportunities where properties may be more affordable but come with their own set of challenges.Here are some considerations:Risk Tolerance: Take into account your degree of comfort and risk tolerance while managing properties remotely.Objectives: Specify your investing objectives, including cash flow, appreciation, or a combination of the two.Market study: To fully grasp the development potential, employment opportunities, and rental demand of prospective out-of-state markets, do in-depth market study.Hybrid Strategy: Another option is to choose a hybrid strategy, where you invest in a combination of local properties for stability and simpler management, and you set aside some of your portfolio for out-of-state properties for diversity.Before making a decision, it's essential to consult with real estate professionals, conduct in-depth market research, and possibly network with local investors in the markets you're interested in.Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all answer, and the best strategy depends on your financial goals, risk tolerance, and personal preferences.

I do have a question for you: Why is it that there is no transparency with regard to quotes for setting up prospective clients? 

@David SegattiI was really shocked when a prospective new Protégé pointed out your post to me.
