If you search here for Do Hard Money, their previous name, you'll get a thousand hits.The consensus reads mostly negative to mixed at best.

To look at and the foreclosure properties to search are good not that great though since everyone is looking at them and also banks try to sell them for market value 

This thread should be pinned and tagged as the first to appear when rookies (and even most advanced investors) search for investing out of state.

You can search my name and see some interesting examples from clients that are pretty cool.

@Daniel Sam just did a quick search on Zillow in those areas roughly (just put the map over those general zip codes) and there are about 152 homes currently listed for sale that are 3+ bedrooms, less than $150k, and single-family houses.

After reading and talking to my lender which didn't offer it (similar to what @Drew Sygit said) I went the conventional route and used cash for the remodel. 203k loans have hurdles, payment draws, specific contractors (grosssss), and other requirements that slow you down or cost money.Investors have found success with (203) loans it but consider your overall goal, budget, and timeline. 

Remember, grow slow and sturdy, then explode with growth.

How do ppl typically search for mid term rentals.

Retail and data center REITs lead, with Realty Income and Digital Realty Trust among top fundraisers.While REITs raised significant capital, property acquisitions have slowed, with more sales than purchases recorded.

Using this, although slow at first, will build momentum on the back end to move quickly once the momentum builds, or at least as long as I keep the rails on the tracks.
