Hey @Ingrid Hussey, we’d also recommend QuickBooks—specifically QuickBooks Online—so you’re not limited by Mac or PC and can access it from anywhere (not just your local system).

I have a lot of personal experience with BRRRR—both from building my own rental portfolio here in Memphis, TN and from helping both local and out-of-state investors successfully scale their portfolios using this strategy.One of the biggest advantages I’ve been able to offer my clients is structuring deals with hard money lenders in a way that allows them to acquire properties with less than $10,000 out of pocket in most cases which results them in massive cash on cash returns!

I would suggest finishing school, working as a part time agent while you are at school, saving commissions for investing, and working with a team that focuses on investing as opposed to residential sales.There are also local meet ups every month. 

Local networking events can be a great way to get connected.

I am local to the Memphis market here and like others have mentioned communication is key.

.- Build Relationships with Vendors: Getting quotes from local contractors or vendors for common maintenance or repair tasks can give you a clearer picture of recurring costs.

I’m a local real estate broker with Keller Williams, and I love helping investors find great opportunities in the area.

Maintenance can also be a factor—while newer homes may require minimal upkeep, older units might need more frequent repairs, particularly for things like plumbing or HVAC systems.Some things to pay close attention to:Zoning and Permits: Check local zoning laws and permit requirements to ensure you’re allowed to place a mobile home on your land and rent it out.

One was conventional financing and the other was a portfolio loan from a local bank here in Hawaii, I also did a lot of research into DSCR loans during my search.I'm also an agent here on Oahu but focus mainly on Property Management, at the brokerage we manage roughly 50 units that are a mix of STR, MTR, and LTR's. 

Are there any local real estate meet-ups or community here that investors meet-up?
