To get the best results and to start to make real connections, go to local real estate meetups, start learning, and then post a question where others can hop in and help you move from A to B.

Building cost has almost doubled in the last 4 years taking B and definitely C markets out of the picture for new builds.

@Julie Bourdon investing should be approached logically, not emotionally.Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

Depending on whether you have US FICO, US bank, Visa, etc, the programs you can qualify will change.

@Bill B. multiple times each day, someone is posting asking for a referral for a PMC somewhere!

Zillow can help you screen tenants for free ensure prospective tenants have;(A) Decent credit (Don't expect an 800-credit score from someone renting a room)(B) 3x or more in income than the monthly rent cost.

Quote from @Bill B.: Is there a reason she doesn’t want to list with her PM?

You only need to sign a new lease when (a) the original can't be located, or (b) there are enough changes to justify a new contract.
