Our group has members from all over the world and we invest in many countries.

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

Quote from @Tannia Castro: I would say the key would be to narrow in on an area (this could be a city if you are not from that area and investing remotely), or this could be a part of the city (some local streets) if it is in your backyard.

I only spoke with one person so far and they scheduled for more information gathering/ rental investment calls from them this upcoming week.

Wishing you luck as you learn and grow in this industry!

This also leads owners to ASSUME simpler is better when it comes to management contracts.

@Mark Sullivan have you researched portfolio loans? 

You might consider: Consulting a Real Estate Attorney – Your emails may possibly prove misrepresentation.Requesting Public Records – A FOIA request might reveal why the city denied you but later approved the duplex.Escalating to City Officials – Bringing this to local officials could expose inconsistencies.Exploring Tax Write-Offs – A CPA might help offset your financial loss, if it is possible.I’d definitely seek legal advice.

Is this a good way to get into real estate investing?

Was solid if you have never done any research in MF investing.
