I am excited to start the journey of real estate investing with my sights set on long term single family and smaller multi family long term rental properties out of state.

If you're dead set on BRRRR, focus on areas like Linden, Hilltop, and parts of the South Side - but make sure you really understand the micro-markets there.

First off, of you have capital for the DP or money set aside?

It won't happen.These course gurus are good at what they do, but they will most likely give you these tips which are expensive to set up.

The networking and local market insights are invaluable.For retirement planning, focus on building steady cash flow and consider setting aside a healthy maintenance fund (I usually recommend 6 months of expenses) to protect against any surprises.If you're looking to expand your portfolio, Columbus is a great market where we still see positive cash flowing deals with lots of appreciation potential.

We would greatly appreciate your guidance regarding any requirements, limitations, or recommended procedures in this context.

Limiting those expenses is a significant part of landlording!

Quote from @Rhyse Andrews: @Erin Helle1) try to squeeze in some tutoring sessions for mid terms/finals before schools go on break.2) set up EIN and a business bank account  Love it. #2 won't take long at all (less than 2 hours total) and will set you up nicely for next year!

You might want to limit your visits though to avoid escalation.Short term if the smart lock is on his personal door just change it to a key if it's isn't working for him, you can always switch back later.

Lease or no lease, you need to follow the timelines that NYS set out from my understanding.
