You should plan accordingly.If these are "friends-and-family" type private lenders, I would urge you to tread very carefully.

- Landlord Friendly Laws?

Introducing yourself on the forums here is a great step towards networking. 

Ive already been connected with an investor friendly real estate agent.

I manage the vacancies, leasing, contractor and inspection appointments, but honestly the Turbotenant software I use is really user friendly and handles rent collection and what not. 

Hey BP friends,I was wondering if anyone has experience with MTR out of state?

What happens is that new investors come in looking for someone who knows something, investors who know something, investors who invest themselves...but sometimes what they get is alleged investor-friendly agents who don't invest and don't work with investors much, but know other agents who do. 

Private money loans can be from private companies, money lenders, family members, or friends.

I'd love to introduce you to our market here in Memphis, TN!

Oakland in general has large demand for LTR, especially in the family-friendly neighborhoods, so I wouldn't be surprised if you are already seeing many applicants on day 1.
