The most reliable way to learn that info is by asking local Investors by going to a Real Estate Investing Association, Free Group Meetup, or Joining FaceBook groups catered to your area, asking for closing company recommendations. 3.

Food for thought.Lastly, the money you will save while not paying rent, can be saved and further invested in your next deal.

I usually end up paying $100 in materials.I'm not trying to take food out of your mouth, what i'm saying is, I don't want to pay $2000 for a $500 furnace, and then $2000 in 'labor' for a job that takes one guy and his Igor less than a full day to complete.One last thing, if you clear $240 for a furnace install (1-6 hours, it varies) you are KILLING it.  

Like you I am a bit surprised that more directed branding (in order to gain recognition and build following/credibility) is not prevalent in REI.I was thinking of doing branding that would provide some context to the type of environment you'll find behind the door of a rental.For example, I was thinking of doing a TechHaus rental (3-4 bdr) in which I would cater to working professionals in the tech industry - with features such as whiteboard walls, connected home, and work stations.

The church also provides for my utilities and food.

Larger cities that cater to international clientel will be your best bet.
