Starting locally with multifamily and house flipping is a solid plan.

Residential subdivisions, while potentially less complex, can be hit-or-miss depending on local housing trends and the cost of infrastructure development. 

Hindsight is 20/20, and my education (courtesy of the school of hard knocks called Life) has shaped my approach to real estate investing and how I help others achieve their goals.Since 2021, I’ve been working full-time in real estate, specializing in assisting both local and out-of-state investors in acquiring small multi-family properties and short-term rentals.I would love to meet up with you and further discuss your REI interests and goals.

Wash dishes at the local restaurants.  

It may be best to partner with someone that has done one before or somehow is a local expert on lot splits.If you can add a bathroom into existing space on high cost property it can add a lot of value.  

If you are going to have a company manage your property, I would recommend you find someone that is local. 

Here's what works for me: 1) Posting your property on Facebook Marketplace2) Craigslist3) Talk to local universities or big corporations who may need short or long term housing for their clients4) Property managers are hit or miss.

Check your local/state law.

Nonetheless, If you’re short on time, hiring a local attorney who focuses on evictions is definitely a good idea, as the process can be quite tedious.

It’s like giving the home a sense of place..a nod to local design traditions while still making it feel fresh.
