@Alec Jacobs you have a good process as far as making them fill out a application before touring the property.

we have two properties under agreement and both are $2M + and VA loans, which i was shocked they go that high, so yeah they are powerful.

If you prefer to maintain privacy and don’t want your tenants to know you are the property owner, I often recommend a two-entity strategy.

- I understand that properties go to auction, but what’s the process like from start to finish? 

Quote from @David Young: My wife and I are new to this and are saving for our first property our goal is to start looking for properties in November 25, we have a couple questions, would it be wise to invest out of state for our first time investment (we do plan on physically going to see the properties to potentially invest in) ? 

Keep the property IMO.

For finding my first properties, word of mouth and local networking worked well, plus reaching out to hosts on Airbnb with personalized messages.When pitching, focus on how you’ll add value (like boosting reviews or optimizing pricing) and avoid coming off too salesy.

Hi Justin - It sounds like your Airbnb is performing really well, especially considering your initial intent for the property.

Scares the gang members off every time.Never cared for ARs because they are based on M-16s and M-16A1s.

If you cash out equity in a property, you are "borrowing" that money from the lender.
