I selected Lewiston for the post as I didn't see an Augusta option, but I do work all over the state.It was my family's property management business that brought me to Maine and sparked my interest in and passion for helping investors achieve their goals. 

I'm going to try leasing the place out myself again, but if I'm struggling, I will hire property manager. 

I have 3 properties and currently looking to sell one. 

It looks good) I stumbled across someone locally who does it, but I'm sure you could find someone there if you or other out-of-town investors like the idea of paying a bit more for that level of security and obtain a remote monitoring source of the exterior of the properties.

I am continuing to buy residential properties.

Joint ventures entail utilizing your own money to buy properties with others.

You can get a "renovation heloc" which will give you a heloc based on the ARV of your property.

With your construction background, you're already in a strong position to add value to properties through renovations or identifying potential issues.

I am always on the lookout for off market properties around the Sacramento area.
