Bigger Pockets is a great place for education and networking and is full of great content.I recommend that you check out the following resources:1.

When you tell them they will only get paid when the loan closes, they will disappear.If required, the only money you should ever send to the lender is for a credit check.

But if you’re set on going out of state, I’d recommend checking out Detroit.I’ve been investing there since 2019 and currently hold 12 doors.

Check them out on Meetup.com. 

@Albert Gallucci as many have pointed out, in the commercial space of 100+ apartment buildings and offices, property classes have some pretty decent industry standards.We started applying these to 1-4 unit properties around 10 years ago, which you can verify on our blogs, because we saw too many newbie investors not properly taking into account things like, neighborhood status, tenant pool, property condition, etc.Unfortunately, there's no industry standard for this, but you can use some basic logic to think your way through your own Classifications.

There are also additional costs of operating and maintaining an LLC, like separate bank accounts, annual report filings, tax filings, etc.2.
