I flew there and walked the house, looked pretty turnkey rental grade): $1029 GFCI outlets, downspouts and guards, drywall, paint, bathroom vent$4615 (new AC unit since unit was stolen before tenant moved in, didn't file insurance claim because didn't want my premium to go up) $600 (water line, gas line, P trap)$60 lawn mowing$112  thermostat repairMy opinion is that Class C is better for local investors who are on site and know how to do repairs and self manage.

Maryland’s DLLR site you mentioned is definitely a step in the right direction.

I was building a new laundromat in the best retail area of our town when our job site got its tools and copper robbed for the second time.

I think this site may be geared a bit more toward the avid investor, rather that the weekend warrior type of investors with regular, RE carriersOn the other hand, for myself, watching the RE market is enjoyable for me.I have always attended open houses just to be nosey or nerdy, whichever you prefer. 

There are so many veterans who have carved nice paths in real estate investing all over the site and as guests on podcasts that you can learn from as well.

Based on my experience coaching investors with my husband, who was a realtor many years ago, I strongly advise that, regardless of whom you work with, you meet the team, conduct thorough market research, get an appraisal, schedule an inspection, and also arrange for a site visit.

I bought an LG TV a few weeks ago, was on the LG site, asked a question on the chat, and they offered 20% off without even asking (on top of the sales price).

The result for a background check using Zillow Rental Property Manager's site came back with a result of "N/A".

While both involve finding and properly securing a site and bringing it to full entitlement, the ground-up process includes the land piece but gets way more involved and complex to execute.The full "Monty" for ground-up development needs to include financial literacy, an explanation of metrics, and how they work.

I own a duplex property (I do not live on site) and I'm renting out the 2 bed/1 bath back house.
