I'm sure you will need tools to find deals (eg price/sqft etc), estimate rents, calculate cash-on-cash returns, cap rate etc.

Keep in mind your mortgage pricing/rate may change by doing this, so good to loop in your lender early on to let them know your intentions. 

@Gabriel ShapiraThe investors that I have talked with lately and others on BP seem to be very interested in the Charlotte area. 

In this post, I'll share my thoughts on the value of a good property manager and how to select one.

No perfect answer on this one as it will require some sort of sacrifice, just depends on what sacrifice you want to make.

From what I’ve observed, many of the most successful investors tend to focus on markets near where they’re based or in areas they’re familiar with.

Hi Bobby, can you expand on your question a little bit, what do you mean by where to start?

I believe some of their people are likely here on the forums and can jump in, they also had a booth and sponsorship at last years BP con so if you went you may have seen them.I came across the service because I had a client who was going to self manage, and wanted me to lease the units for him, and the property was a mixed use building with his business operating out of the ground floor. 

Whole house burned to the ground, likely due to guests smoking on the deck.

There is a great group of members on here to connect with.
