Very communicative, hands on, and thorough with their property management.As some additional context, I own a few rentals in different markets and Michele's team is top notch compared to them.

How true is this, and how could that affect my real estate strategy if I were to enter the Texas market as a Washington State resident?

The financing will then dictate which markets are and aren't within your budget.

So the idea of doing this all from afar is a bit daunting, however, I know the most important thing here will be to create a great team and outsource as much as possible.I have set my sights on a couple of different markets being in the Southeast and the Midwest; these markets seem to provide the cash flow I am initially interested in generating to value add to the properties I purchase.

This is a good opportunity in a strong market, and with your excellent credit and HELOC funds, you’re in a great position to make this project happen.

STR seems to have better tax benefits (in the right market) but is it worth it at a distance ???

CT spots like Bridgeport and New Haven also pop up a lot in conversations about good starter markets.

I started my real estate career in 2014 working in marketing at PPR Note Co. with Dave Van Horn.

Purchase price: $275,000 Cash invested: $129,000 20-unit hotel, was abandoned and had sat on the market for 3 years.

I’m planning to buy my first property there using my VA home loan and would love to connect with local investors who are familiar with the market.
