I have been lingering a few days, and I figured I should make a post to at least introduce myself.

I suggest working with an investor friendly agent so you can get the right guidance!  

There are many markets in landlord friendly states that offer cashflow and because of good growth, potential for appreciation.  

Some excellent points, friend.

This is not legal advice, just friendly information.Obviously, I'm biased, but an attorney should put that together.

I’m already aware of the popularity of Joshua Tree and Lake Tahoe, so I’m interested in hearing about other markets that are strong performers and investor-friendly in terms of regulations.Does anyone have insights on:Specific cities or regions where the permit process is more straightforward?

Low property taxes, landlord friendly, weather is reasonable, close to Lake Tahoe and lots of enjoyable areas in CA, strong appreciation, strong rents, population growth, diversified job growth, limited land allows for significant appreciation outlook over time. 

Don't invest with "friends".

I’ve been in the market for two years now, and while the learning curve has been steep, especially in the NJ market, I’m committed to growing and improving every day.I primarily worked with buyers, many of whom were family and friends.

I have the opportunity to co-host for a couple investor friends and I'm wondering what to charge them for MTR/LTR management.
