There are a lot of factors here, but feel free to let me know what goals you have and what areas you are looking into and see if I have any localized advice.

Since our goal is to scale in real estate and we do have the funds, we would prefer to minimize the deposits and invest into reno where necessary and keep the capital for now for improvements, if they arise.

Ultimately, choosing the right PM comes down to figuring out what your own specific goals are and then aligning those goal with the right PM.

As such I realize what an opportunity I had and invested my all into it.To be clear, the goal in my real estate ventures is NOT to swing all the hammers, run all the wires, or till and grade all the properties.

The return depends on your goals—if you’re looking for long-term appreciation and you're confident in the future of the local market, this could be a solid investment.

What are your main goals with the LLC?

Make sure you're comfortable with these and have appropriate insurance coverage.Ultimately, the "best" location depends on your specific goals, risk tolerance, and how hands-on you want to be.

It's still a worthwhile goal that you should pursue, and I don't know your starting point.

We gotta get them interested enough to come out, but ideally come out with urgency, because that's how you drive multiples, and that's the goal in EVERY listing.     

My goals with BiggerPockets is to learn about real estate investing and network, my wife and I would like to purchase our first house in the next 6 months.
