@Desiree BoardWhen deciding between investing locally or out of state, and whether to self-manage or hire a property manager, consider your goals, comfort level, and resources.

And do you have a certain price range in mind and I assume you're good with up to a moderate level of rehab?

It takes a certain level of QB knowledge to set it up correctly.

To me at my current knowledge level, this deal only works if taking over the loan - to limit the out of pocket money to acquire the property since the outside reno and new septic would take up the bulk of rehab costs. 

I’m not sure if this is for you, but...If you’re serious about leveling up your real estate game in 2024, there’s no reason not to try this.

@Avani Patel If it hasn't been created yet, if someone were able to do that at the property level, they'd be a gazillion-aire!

Existing-home sales, for example, hit their lowest level in nearly 30 years in 2024, with just 4.06 million transactions.

Also, which choice is better for you highly depends on what your real estate goals are and the experience level & skillset of the specific agent.Traditional agent and Redfin Agent could essentially be the same thing in many cases.

I put in two layers of rockwool + 5/8" drywall between my basement and main level, and was so glad I did it.

Hammer got dropped in Highlands with some level of grandfathering to existing rentals.
