@Shandy Victory I am in the same position as you looking to invest in Ohio I am flying out there next month to check out the area.

And sure enough, they're not the same thing.Adding an extra layer of getting a document signed outside of Airbnb or VRBO is just going to create headaches.

(The Black Friday sale on the Bigger Pockets bookstore was where I did my own Christmas shopping so my family knew what to ‘buy’ for me!).

It does sound to me that a lot of that work should have come out of the tenants security deposit 

I have free checklists I’m giving out to help you along the way!

You say that you are investing out of state.

Stick to Your TypeWarren Buffett once said, “The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything.”Apply this principle here:Decide on your property type.Say no to anything outside of that type.You can always pivot down the road, but starting with focus is crucial to building momentum.

Read a couple of books.

Hi Everyone,I’m investing in an essentially turnkey (it was a flip) MFH in Woonsocket, RI and wanted to get your take from anyone who has experience in the city.I know the city has a bit of a reputation, but it’s in the Fairmount neighborhood that tends to be quite good.

If I could ever be of some help in the process or want to discuss specific areas of town and investment analysis, please reach out!
