I lived in the region for 7 years, own several properties in Tulum, and have a property management company.

To diversify, visit and analyze Texas markets, speak with local investors, evaluate other regions remotely, build a team, start small, and connect with local investors.

In my area there are a few small regional banks that have competitive DSCR products.

Welcome, great community here on BP but also in-person in Central Texas, definitely encourage you to get involved in the lots of groups and events in the region!

If you're in northern Indiana or have expertise in the Great Lakes region, I'd love to connect!

A lot of investors in high-cost areas look out of state or in more affordable regions with strong rental markets.

There are both national and regional foreclosure listing services that provide notice of default, notice of trustee sale, and lis pendens data on properties in the foreclosure process.

Typically, you would have a pest control service visit every 2-3 months, but this can vary depending on the region and the specific issues you're dealing with.

I dont know the area, or the county for that matter, whatsoever.I did some preliminary due diligence on Clinton, including 5-year population trends, demographics, rental rates published, and some other region-specific data. 

Hi Danny,I've personally owned several rentals in Schenectady, and also own a local PM company in the capital region so we work with tons of clients in the area that ask this all the time.
