My initial interest in out-of-state investing stems from the high cost of multifamily properties in New York and the state’s renter-friendly laws.

I have friends who bought in Texas, Chicago, Minnesota and Tennessee so I've been watching those markets. 

I would advise finding an investor friendly realtor when you choose a market.

In addition, a DIL does not automatically satisfy the underlying mortgage/DOT so if you accept a deed from the DIL grantee you may find a title insurer will require a release or sat of it before insuring.We have often used a “friendly” foreclosure instead of deed in lieu when we needed to “wipe out” liens junior to ours before taking property title.   

Every Week I scan the MLS, navigating cities and towns in South Florida that are friendly (and not friendly) toward short term rentals.

Hi friends! 

Use Automated Follow-Ups to Build RelationshipsMost deals aren’t closed on the first contact, which is why follow-ups are essential.Example Workflow:Day 1: Send a thank-you email after a seller contacts you.Day 3: Share a case study of a seller you helped.Day 7: Send a friendly reminder with a call-to-action like “Let’s schedule a quick call to discuss your options.”Pro Tip: Mix email and SMS follow-ups to keep the conversation warm.Why It Works:Automation saves you time while nurturing leads until they’re ready to sell.3.

My new friend @Gabe Chase just put together a STR Mastermind for Property Managers (and we're looking for new members to join us!).

While I know this isn't a lot in today's market, I believe there are creative ways to make it work.I’m a former foster child who was declared independent as a teen, so I've been living with close friends that I consider family.

I imagine that if ALL the LP"s protested with Form 8082, the IRS might have taken note.I need to write some posts about the Tricks and Traps that some syndicators [not you, of course] use to the detriment of the LP's.But the Form 8082 is your best friend.
