@Katie Miller I found mine at a local REIA.

I would be self managing the property because I know the area well, have local connections to help out if in a pickle, and could get there in a day drive if need be. 

For example, areas like Chicago have a strong demand for furnsihed rentals, especially in neighborhoods near medical centers.

Hi all, I am familiarizing myself with at the Albequerque market and wondering whether any local investors can shed some perspective on overall property values relative to rents in the area.

Stay hyperlocal and get a good team in place locally so you can recognize good people when you find them. 

But I am looking for a local CPA.I see no compelling reason for that. 10 years ago, most of the local clients of my firm liked to come to our Houston office.

I would outline your scenario to a few local mortgage brokers - with everything you've said this seems like a pretty easy deal. 

It still had poor locale support and was not much more International than the U.S.A. version.

Having a reliable local team, including a property manager and a realtor familiar with the market, is the best way to avoid high-crime areas.If you’re leaning towards Richmond or have more questions about the market here, feel free to reach out.

I'm a new to real estate investing and I'm looking to connect with local investors.
