I live in a very expensive market (Seattle, WA) and I am looking to invest out of State.

On the surface, it might seem cheaper to hire a PM company, but when you factor in vacancies, maintenance, and under-market rents, you’ll likely come out ahead by managing it yourself.I used to work for a local investor with 500+ units, all in one town.

Since then, we've analyzed at least 75 deals across multiple markets, developed our buy box, and choose a strategy that aligns with our goals.

congrats on the Naca program I have sold a  handful of my OREO to Naca buyers.. its a great program takes some resolve to go through their initiation process. 

An existing duplex provides immediate rental income and proven market comparables, reducing risk.

A property is available off market that seems to be a great deal.

Our customers are a mix of 1) DIY owner/operators and, 2) investors who use one or many full-service PMs to handle day-to-day operations in their local markets.

VA loans are the only loans that allow this, and there is no rate penalty for it no longer being your primary home.With that in mind, you could do a cash out refinance today at a higher rate than current market rates which will create profit on the loan, we can take that profit to pay for your closing costs.

It's nice to hear from an investor who is doing the same thing in the same market. 

In fact, just finished one that I have yet to put on the market.
