It's amazing as a market rate deal but I also want to explore the affordable opportunity.  

You can search on Google, attend REI meetings, or explore Facebook groups.People invest a lot of time and energy in generating off-market leads, and connecting with reliable, reputable sources who supply quality deals can be a game changer.

Good morning all - I've been using RentRedi for the past year but have heard good things and am exploring Baselane and Stessa.

If you have the right location (in town or by the beach) and provide an above average property, you can do well.  

I’ve been exploring various strategies to land a solid rental property, and I’m particularly interested in trying mortgage assumption for this one.I’m currently looking at a property listed at $350K.

Consider exploring townhomes or single-family homes nearby with fewer HOA restrictions for more flexibility.

Rent a storage unit in a nearby town, ship all items to storage unit, pay someone to then use the items to furnish the home or make a weekend trip 

When networking on BP or in person, being clear about your goals will make a big difference.Are you mainly interested in finding rental properties, connecting with other landlords, or exploring specific asset types?

I also help out of town LLs with consulting services to stay on top of their properties here. 

Welcome to BP and congratulations on seeking to begin your real estate journey.Are you looking to invest, purchase a home to live in, or perhaps explore commercial properties?
