First time Cincinnati investor giving it a shot from out-of-state, currently in early stages and looking for advice.Current parameters are: seeking B-class 3bd/1.5ba SFH for buy and hold (possibly BRRRR), $150-250k.

If lower rate trends continue and stay consistent, expect the news to reach sidelined buyers and an uptick in buyer activity towards the end of summer into the anticipated September rate cuts. 

If you're going to be able to consistently invest solid chunks of money every single year, then a big part of your focus should be on not losing money versus hitting crazy returns. $50k invested per year at a 10% annual compounding return is just over $9m in 30 years on $1.5m invested.

It's advisable to thoroughly document your application and screening procedures, ensuring consistency for every applicant.

Generally speaking, RE meetups are more useful for networking than the speakers by a long shot. 

I'm probably too conservatively minded to use that model myself, but then again my goals are consistent cash-flow and stabilized equity building properties.

I'm ready to give real estate another shot any advice is greatly appreciated.

Consistent reminder of paying rent, automatic charging of late fees and ability to add addendum for changes in lease agreements.

I would be curious as to what the average billing is to a buyer or seller for a completed transaction.Also in IL were the attorneys have a lock down on the closing process agents do NOT do as much work as in other states not by a long shot..

The appraisals that consisting come in close to what a property actually sells for are where the subject is an income producing  property being run on a consistently and providing consistent cash flow.
