@Jemini LeckieIf investing locally is not in the cards I would do some research and pin point a market that fits what you are looking for and then reach out in the forums for that specific market and ask more detailed questions.

If you feel like you’re managing your property manager, it’s a strong sign that the manager may not be the right fit.

Unless of course you actually have the money in reserves and would make up any loss.. that would be different..

If this doesnt fit with your goals, it's time to bring on a partner.

Of course, all channels can work.. from seller financing to foreclosures.. but from my 30+ years in real estate, I’ve found focusing on cash flow analysis tends to pay off more reliably.So here’s the big question that might help steer your next steps.. what do you think would make landlording less stressful for you.. a property manager, or maybe a smaller property until you get more comfortable?

The opportunity to collaborate with Debra Cottom on a deal requiring no renovations made it a perfect fit for a swift and profitable transaction.

Education is very important, so I’m taking a self taught course to get my permit tech certificate.

Of course I have googled already and all that good stuff.

i.e. buying and selling notes.Of course the mortgage is attached to the property. 

The course is long and test is difficult so make sure you are committed.
