You lose control but you aren't being called in the middle of the night to fix a toilet.

If you are getting your hands dirty I'd say stay local because your appreciation will be better long term but if you want the passive route there are several markets east of you and maybe north.

I am on the east coast of Florida but visit the west coast often. 

Married and father of 3, my oldest is still trying to figure out life, my middle is in her 1st year of college and we are helping pay for this, at least her 1st year, and I have a son who is a sophomore in high school. 

There is such a pricing distance just west of Troost vs East of Troost.

I know people have said stay away from the south east and these are some of the neighborhoods that are considered “good” but I feel like the numbers are not great in these areas.

I own all of my investment properties here and work with a lot of out-of-state investors in both the east and west coast that love investing here for the turnkey and BRRRR opportunities that we have here.

Pricing generally is impacted by every 20 point increment of your middle mortgage FICO mortgage score so a 740-760 score will get a better rate than a 680-700 score.2.

It is amazing to me how many people will trust their hard earned money with someone that was in middle or high school during the financial crisis.Beyond this initial search:Experiencetrack recordBusiness PlanAsset typeProjected returnsFinancial StructuresRights and remedies in legal docsRedemption rightsSupplemental Capital CallsOperations capabilitiesOwner/Operator or capital raiser for othersK-1 TimingUse of bonus and accelerated depreciation1031 optionsVertically integrated or outsourcedExperience of team through multiple market cyclesBackground, if any, prior to real estate and syndicationProjected returns net or gross of fees and carrySeeing full financials of current deals with budget vs actuals (if syndicator does not share, or only shares P&L delete their contact)Color on deals that went sideways or lost money and whyMarket analysisColor on why they like that dealRisks of the deal, as they see themDo they have third party audits, ideally from one of big 4 firmsAre they a fund or single asset?

I’m in the middle of paying off my car but I’m wondering if I should get another credit card.
