I think you bring up a good point of considering offering higher returns to investors if I have to begin to search outside of my network.But my original question from the post still remains, where would you recommend I search for people interested in an opportunity like this? 

👋It’s a pleasure to join this community and connect with people passionate about real estate.

Hi - I am new on this platform - but am looking to help people accomplish financial freedom through real estate. 

Also, not sure what relationship you have established with your property manager but typically people hire managers to take care of this part and be tenant-facing.  

Loan officers with 25 years of experience typically are more experienced, and have less time per file, because they have an abundance of files.Loan officers with 25 months of experience typically are less experienced, but have more time to devote to you.I can't write my own loans, so when I'm getting a loan I prefer working with less busy people when I'm doing my own real estate investment, they're more responsive and dedicated it feels like.

What we have learned is that most people avoid these properties entirely, which allows us to purchase them at a significant discount.

Here are additional comments:1) Buying out of state removes any local knowledge you have from assisting in your success, including knowing areas, people and costs. - We always recommend buying your first rental locally if possible and DIY managing to learn as much as possible before investing OOS.2) Lots of crooks and incompetents in the PMC world:( They both cost you money.- As already stated, you'll have a small portfolio.

I know some people feel like they need to invest in a course to hold themselves accountable or feel like they are doing something.

If I pay it off, I could maximize cash flow earlier, reducing financial stress and allowing me to focus on other ventures or simply enjoy life more.On the other hand, I know some people advocate for keeping cheap debt and using the extra cash to invest elsewhere for potentially higher returns.Why I’m leaning toward paying it off:Security: No debt = peace of mind.Financial freedom earlier: A fully paid-off rental would give me a significant monthly cash flow?

Without going into too many details about the property, I'm interested in connecting with people who deal with off market listings and investors in this geographic area.
