Hey John, welcome to Sac BP -- I'm a local broker and property manager, we manage 100+ Airbnb listings and generally recommend investing in Multifamily as opposed to Single-Family.

Networking with other local investors or joining a real estate meetup can also help you find great lenders, property managers, and contractors.

Are you looking to invest locally there?

Sounds like the house is not local to you, OP.

I hit up a local wine distributor and pickup wine boxes (wooden ones) they give away to anyone who wants them.

So we restricted local landlords who rent to families, and soon the town will experience the very real repercussion of no one wanting to rent to families and professionals.

You might check with a local attorney on this.In NY where I am, the period is 10 years.

In 2022 the rents increased 12.1% year over year which was the 3rd highest in the entire country per https://www.axios.com/local/cleveland/2023/02/14/cleveland-rent-prices.

@Mitchel Johnson Welcome to BP and I wish you the best in investing..Usually people start by going to local meetups and building a network of trusted people to get their feet wetHere is an examplehttps://www.meetup.com/find/?

We likely need to look for local lender that is keeping loan in house.
