I wouldn't have gotten to where I am now without the support of this group.In addition to all the learnings that helped start and grow a portfolio, I also connected with a lot of motivated individuals across the country who I continue to connect with to discuss opportunities.

Market activity continues to increase and peaks June-August when kids are out of school and parents don't have to worry about mid-term school transfers.Finally, many owners only look at PMC pricing, so have never asked their PMCs enough questions about rental property marketing, showings, prospect screening and what information about all of it will be provided to them.Here’s some questions we hope it’s not too late to ask:What websites does your property show up on when you Google the address?

While I’m based in California, I’m looking to begin house hacking a duplex, triplex, or quadplex in Houston, Texas, and build from there.I’m looking forward to continuing to learn, becoming a property owner, and taking full control of my time and life to eventually quit my 9-to-5.

@Oladimeji SonibareRegarding Facebook Ads and the discussion about legitimacy in presenting yourself as someone who can assist these people, I’d offer this suggestion: Continue targeting the same audience on Facebook, but adjust your concept and marketing message.

Continue to interact and share with the forums your progress/questions, look forward to seeing your continued success!

The coastline continues to grow and with towns like New London working  to build up their infrastructure to draw in more business and ultimately residences, it feels like the area is heading in the right direction overall.

They also have the ports (or in the case of D.C. the government) which means they will continue to be very important economically for a long time.I invest in Rochester, NY because I happen to live there, but when Kodak went "under" and Xerox moved there was no appreciation for almost 20 years. 

The hype continues while the marketplace has cooled.
