I am a flipper/investor who has sold many properties, frequently direct to the buyer. 

Quote from @Troy Smith: I’m ready to re t out my first property in Ohio.

I still have properties in Norcal, though.

You’ll want a reliable agent who knows the investor market, a property manager, contractors, and a lender familiar with out of state investor needs.

what would you think of a 14,600sqft 3 unit property in sailboat bend, off market, that is RMM25 zoned and has a nice single family and duplex behind it, half of the lot if empty so it can be developed or RV/trailer parking, for $1.1M?

Try to hang on until the end of the lease, or at least until there’s only 15-30 days left if the tenant is really keeping the property up and will let people walk the property while they pay rent.

If you want to maintain anonymity for your TN rental properties, I recommend using a TN Series LLC that is member-managed by a WY LLC.

For example, I mention that every adult must pay a $30 application fee, pass my credit/criminal background, make a combined income of 3x the rent, and whether or not the property accepts pets.

For finding my first properties, word of mouth and local networking worked well, plus reaching out to hosts on Airbnb with personalized messages.When pitching, focus on how you’ll add value (like boosting reviews or optimizing pricing) and avoid coming off too salesy.

doing a bad deal just to have done a deal will set your finances and your relationship back.
