A friend of mine told me that "Bigger Pockets" was the place to be, so I'm reaching out here with my first post.

I have a friend who lives in Detroit and we will be partnering up on our first deal so that we have boots on the ground in the area.

We have sold a partial and kept it our names but only in situations where we were selling the partial to someone we know very closely (such as a family member or very close friend). 

As I mentioned before it is my friend and her husband and I.

Try looking in MD they seem to have friendly LLC laws and set up costs.  

Knowing my goal of house hacking and Airbnb, she encouraged me to connect with an investor-friendly agent I found on BiggerPockets.

Google Ads can be your best friend, but if you’re not doing it right, the hungry competition can quickly take you out—and all for issues that could have easily been avoided.So, how do you identify a good keyword from the start?

If your going to just go with any Realtor, or your family friend/acquaintance that is a realtor, you might as well just sell it yourself.

Choose a market based on affordability, population growth, job opportunities, landlord-friendly states, and BRRRR potential.
