A lower income, but willingness to sacrifice comfort in order to set yourself up for an abundant future.

I've also used GC's to complete full rehab jobs & depending on how much work a house needs and how comfortable I am with the rehab, often times I will sub out the work to different painters, handymen, electricians, plumbers, etc instead of using a GC.The more I do this the more comfortable I am managing the jobs myself and it often times saves me significant amounts of money on the rehab costs to just sub out the work vs using a GC for the full rehab.

If you plan on managing it yourself, you want to be close to monitor any improvements and get familiar and comfortable with the entire process.

@Yair ZarmonIf it's your first rental out of state do # 2 to get your feet wet and get comfortable with your team then branch out and get your feet wet and do a BRRRR. 

It is really all about what you are comfortable with and willing to do. 

I feel much more confident and comfortable now in my search for my first park.

For reference, I don't use the alphabet coding because it is easy to dupe investors into feeling comfortable with an area without having to get into detail. 

It's also helpful to interview a few candidates to see who you feel most comfortable with in terms of understanding your goals and who can offer practical advice tailored to your investment strategy.Make sure to ask about their experience with real estate investors, their fee structure, and whether they have dealt with setting up similar business structures.

Plus I wasn't married with kids, so I was comfortable taking the risk.I found that owning my primary residence as my first "deal" was a really great way to get into real estate.

I have built a portfolio of almost 200 units with 90% in Utah and about 75% of those seller-financed.If you don't feel comfortable with seller financing, finding off-market deals or value add opportunities I highly suggest we jump on a Zoom call.You need to network with people who are where you want to be and if you don't you won't get there, ever.
