Hey @Corey Gelineau - Real estate licenses are STATE specific; however, some of them are reciprocal.  

Local lenders might have specific insights into the market, but it really depends on the type of loan and property you’re pursuing.As for your credit, applying to multiple lenders can result in hard inquiries, which could temporarily impact your score.

I saw your comments about not wanting to manage properties in two states, but perhaps you can find a great PM for the FL home.Regarding the numbers you mentioned above, it very much depends on the specific location.

The investors that I have worked with in the past have found units from SFR to quads that are ready to close with conventional financing.Connect with me for any specific questions.Best of luck.

Owning properties through LLCs in their respective states avoids the need to register a foreign LLC, which adds costs and administrative requirements.If you plan to acquire properties across multiple states, you could create a parent LLC in Florida and have individual property-specific LLCs (child LLCs) in each state.

The number of calls you make, are only important if you are guaranteed a specific dollar in return per call. 

I am interested in investing in Texas, specifically Tax Deeds and distressed properties.  

I like the idea of pre-foreclosure especially, but have not found up to date data for that specifically.

I wouldn't recommend trying to do something like this right off the bat, I think you need to get into the game and really know what you are doing before taking on that level of risk.Happy to chat more over a phone call or direct message if you want more insights or have more specific questions!

A seller may direct an agent to negotiate on their behalf within certain parameters or they may discuss how to present/frame a specific response to an offer.
