Right now, we are leaning towards out of state investments as we are priced out in our area.

This is a pretty weird question, I know, but I am curious.I get that you can do deals pretty much anywhere, and there are good deals all over the country, but I don't believe that the markets are equal in this regard.For example, if the seller has the ability to look at your credit as an investor (which throws out one of the sole purposes of doing a seller finance), versus states/markets that don't require that as much, I would like to know the states/markets where owners checking your credit history is not going to be prevalent in a deal, assuming the seller is willing to do this kind of deal with you.For context, yes, I am a new and aspiring investor, and due to certain circumstances, my credit is currently not the best, but I don't want that to stop me from investing in real estate (which is why I'm leaning to using seller financing).Please no answers saying that I should just raise my credit score and get an FHA/Conventional loan, because I am currently working on raising my credit, but I can't give a time on when my credit will be "back to normal" again, which could mean I could be stuck on not qualifying for a loan for the next couple of years (ain't nobody got time for that).Thanks for the help!

I have a friend who works for SDGE and said they regularly have issues in the beach area with bikes leaned on the side of the house and shorting across both sides of the meter and draining the cathodic protection.

Its proximity to key transportation hubs, the Airport, and Tyler Perry Studios, along with other amenities, makes it an attractive area for this investment strategy.If you're leaning towards STR or MTR, you can consider areas like East Point or College Park.

The agent I am leaning towards has been in this market for about 5-7 years.

Then they extrapolate or lean heavy into the algorithm to come up with next 10 months' worth of data.

Appreciate some feedback.I had a tenant, ironically also in Gaithersburg (hope it’s not the same person because she was a pain in the *** lol) but she wanted a new carpet we paid half, she paid her half via us uppping the rent $50 over what it otherwise would have been, so that’s always a creative option, however I wouldn’t want gas at my property if I could avoid it, always a risk of a leak or worse so I’d probably lean towards saying no to this specific request. 

I currently have a condo that Im going to rent out and leaning towards house hacking a multi-family.

You could easily manage a significant volume through a free Google Voice number and an email address.Considering that most residents lean towards email and text rather than phone calls, you can periodically check those messages or any voicemails left for you.As your business expands, you might want to consider implementing an efficient property management software.

Absolutely lean on your agent as expert, but keep asking why if something isn’t going according to plan.
