Whether you're a local or considering investing from out of state, I believe Albuquerque has some unique opportunities, but as always, there are factors to consider.1.

For several reasons (property taxes, politics), I would prefer to begin real estate investing somewhere other than locally. 

Quote from @Gregory Schwartz: A local agent recently got sued for calling an old client who was on the Do Not Call list.

In one case they used a notary at the local US consulate.

Meaning, two different parties have ripped my listings and falsely advertised elsewhere.So a 1:25 scam-to-door-ratio per calendar year hahaIn addition to fraudulent advertising, I have lockboxes that enable remote showings.

My sister lives in Lee’s Summit, so I’ll have family nearby to help navigate the local scene.

Call your local FBI field office and ask for the duty agent.

With careful planning and local insights, Richmond can be a solid addition to your investment portfolio.Good luck!

Find them at local real estate meetups, but be careful, it's a sketchy business overall.

Just curious, are you advertising these as for sale or was this an FYI?
