I was wondering if most wholesalers have stopped using direct mail and just moved to google/facebook to find deals?

You picked a great community to join.. have you checked out local comps to gauge the market vibe yet?

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.

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

I am currently a junior business marketing major with a concentration in professional sales at Samford University.

If have investment property, we are looking for relatively updated units (we are ok doing some work ourselves), class C+/B tenants, with rents either close to market rate or that can be increased.

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?

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.

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.

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