Hi Everyone, I am an OOS first time investor and got a SMF built in 1920 (2 units, 1bd/1ba and 3bd/2ba) under contract at 20K below purchase price (@190K) with both units currently rented ($850 and $1200). 

Last year I bought a 4 unit, 2 story purpose built apartment.

I have seen a lot of that type of stuff being built in the Smokies.

I strongly discourage MTRs built in a single family house.

So for a good deal flow you need to market, your farm needs to be several thousand units large.Frankly, it's a lot easier to become an agent.To that regard I’ve seen a real estate agent spend half of what it would have taken to built a profitable wholesaling business and become THE dominate agent in our city of 135,000 people.  

.: When I first started investing, I built a portfolio consisting of a combination of "cash flow" properties and "appreciation" properties.

We have done this analysis and built a calculator to input your specific exchange details. 

It explains the team that you should develop to have a strong foundation under you while investing remotely.https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/core-four-real-estate-teamI’m an investor based out of Columbus, OH.

The idea is that the cost of owning it (repairs, maintenance, etc...) are all built in. 

So 30k for 900 income, perfect numbers for syndication, and built in under a week.
