You should never let someone into a unit without written evidence that you have authorization to do so from the lessee. 

As a six figure earner, I am seeking advice and insights from experienced real estate investors on strategies and best practices that were valuable when starting out!

While the property's location was desirable, it was evident that the house had been neglected for several years.

I look forward to connecting with other investors and building valuable relationships within this community.

My main goals with these initial projects are:1.Gaining valuable insights into the local market.2.Getting hands-on experience with out-of-state investing, particularly when it comes to remodels and managing from afar.3.Testing the entire BRRRR process to see if it’s the right strategy for me long-term.If all goes well, I’d love to scale up and explore multi-family projects.
