Sufficient infrastructure: Companies select locations with major airports, highways, and a large population of potential workers.

Hi @Allie William Wilson,Sounds like you’ve done some solid research!

Educate yourself with books, podcasts, and market research, define your goals, and build a team of professionals to support your journey.

So, I started researching the subject.

I am still in the learning phase, but I am actively researching some local markets to hopefully find something this year.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

Say, I have a potential client that has asked me to value a 7 unit apartment building.

From my research on Zillow, I'm seeing a duplex that has for about $311 per month in that area so not sure if $42 is the most accurate number for monthly taxes.

So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

To avoid pitfalls, research liens, check property conditions, and set a max bid before buying.
