I would like to start here in Sacramento before venturing to out of state.

Most of this board is DIY landlords who swear they know better than property managers.

Just bought the Rental Property Investing book by Brandon Turner, but any other resources are greatly appreciated as we take on this new venture. 

I looked into one of my cards, the Venture X.

The property, sold by a joint venture between JBG SMITH and PGIM for $325 million, or $588/SF, was approximately 26% below its 2019 valuation.Other examples include Lennar's acquisition of its Miami, Florida headquarters for $68 million, or $319/SF, and First Energy's purchase of its Akron, Ohio headquarters for $49 million, or $136/SF, both at substantial discounts to replacement cost.Investors pricing deals at discounts to existing debt is a parallel trend.

Now that you've expanded into a new venture, it's only natural that certain people are better suited to certain activities than others and a good accountant is no exception.

Developing contacts with other investors may lead to useful information, assistance, and even joint venture prospects.Examine the several financing choices that are available for buying houses, including conventional loans, FHA loans, VA loans (if appropriate), and even portfolio loans from nearby credit unions or banks.You might think about contacting mortgage brokers who focus on investment homes.

You need partners who can bring more credibility to the venture and you need to meet with more/other lenders.

Do your homework before you venture out.

So, heed my advice and tread carefully with these ventures.
