@Jeremy H Barton I would suggest taking a look at your cash flow before signing up for a HELOC on a brand new building.

Likewise, I would suggest to connect with some other investors locally. 

What do you suggest I do, if there's anything else I can possibly do?

I would suggest having a project manager on each flip, having contractors report back to you knowing that you are out of state is very challenging.

In 2003, while working in corporate America someone suggested Rich Dad Poor Dad to me.

The list of cities that I’ve come up with so far by my own rookie research is the following, but always open to other suggestions from members that have experience else where. 

I suggest having smart TVs and let them log into their own accounts, preferably with a guest mode so they auto-log out after a certain number of days.For catering to families, I would concentrate on providing amenities like puzzles and games. 

With that in mind, I’ve decided to focus first on finding a distressed SFH that I can add value to, live in for a few years, and keep as part of my long-term portfolio.I like your suggestion about building the “core 4” team—agent, lender, contractor, and property manager—and will definitely prioritize that as I move forward.

For this type of a question I would suggest posting it in the multi-family forum. 

I would suggest having an attorney at a minimum review any lease you create.
