Focus on smaller single-family homes, condos with low HOA fees, or multi-family properties in these regions, and build a reliable local team of agents, property managers, and other professionals to ensure a smooth investing experience.

@Mark Forest the comments above that you’ve lost, or will lose, all or a significant portion of your investment may or may not be true.  

A lot of people think they can just come to the Midwest, buy C or D property with no team in place and reap cash flow.

.: Quote from @Jesse Dominguez-Castelan: Paul, as licensed agents my team and I do our best to find out as much information from the seller as possible so that we can provide you with what we hope is a complete picture of the property.

I would check on this website on the find an agent feature or search Zillow for teams/agents in your area doing 25 or more deals a year.  

Hi everyone,I am a real estate investor from Israel, new to the Birmingham market.I'm looking to make connections, invest in fix and flip investments, build a good team to learn and if possible help and share my experience.looking forward to meet you all.

This amounts to lost opportunity because if you had purchased RE, at the closing it can start producing return. 5) ADUs detract from the existing structure whether this is privacy, a garage, or just yard space. 6) this is related to number 1, but there are many more buyers looking to purchase homes for their family than there are RE investors looking to purchase small unit count properties.

Same broker team i used for the 1st one.

The biggest mistake I see out of state investors make is relying on others too much for direction and guidance instead of doing their own due diligence and building their own team that they actually meet and interviewRelying on one person who alleges that they have a 'team' built already that you can use as well can be a costly mistake.

The most important thing you can do in the beginning is assemble a good team.
