Once the time is right, with enough research, I would jump into a market (hopefully local if affordable) and get started.

I currently don’t own any properties but I hope to buy a duplex in the coming months.

Hopefully you bought right in an area with comps so they can them.

Hopefully that will do the trick 👍🏻

Hopefully, this is a useful example of what’s achievable with out-of-state investing, even with no local connections. 

Way to many investors were buying properties for more then they were worth with hopes of collecting MUCH MORE than market rent.

I hope more investors come on and give honest reviews so others can be spared from the worst experience I've had in many years.what is your attorney doing?

Off the bat, I had a few questions that hopefully someone more experienced can help: 1. do auctions allow financing after winning the bid, or do they require entire amount to be immediately wired? 

@Ben Cochran I hope you have factored STR tax savings into your cashflow and ROI as it can be significant.Leveraging equity to purchase a short-term rental (STR) in Tampa Bay can diversify your portfolio and potentially generate strong cash flow, but it also increases your financial risk.While your properties hold significant equity, adding debt from HELOCs or a DSCR loan could strain your finances if STR performance fluctuates or costs rise.

I want to create a strong marketing plan before taking that step to help me achieve my goal of earning $50k in commissions.I’m hoping this group can help me with a few questions:1.
