Even if your town or jurisdiction has regulations, the HOA can choose to pass rules that are more restrictive.

Also you can check Meetup for local investor groups as well as there are some smaller ones around also.I'd say one of the biggest steps is choose a type of Investing.

I personally choose to utilize the traditional LLC for my first few properties and it has treated me well.

Because there are so many tax write offs, I would much rather invest in a state that has low state income tax and low property tax.

Robuilt is creating a wonderful well-rounded community that is accessible to all with a low price point for once!

I expect that we will experience another period of extremely low interest rates due to Govt intervention in economic crisis to prop rates. 

I know that the likelihood of a confrontational tenant seeking us out is low, though this doesn’t mean that I or others should not look for as many avenues as possible to avoid such problems if that is our preference.  

With your background as a physician, you’re in a strong position to get into long-term rentals and even the storage space, both of which offer steady income and relatively low maintenance.

Have to agree with @Jonathan Styer about being VERY intentional if you choose to do this.

You can take advantage of first-time homebuyer programs or low down payment options since you’ll be living in the property.Exit strategy.
