It can be a very good market, but the why behind your choice may help us give you better advice on how to move forward.Before realtors and property managers, you really need to meet other investors so you are making a good move by trying to do that here, but it would be better if you could do it in person.

Any insights, personal experiences, or advice would be greatly appreciated!

@Antoine Black  In general, yes, it goes off your personal credit. 

What are the rules for removing this person, as I understand it he falls under hotel rules, not the landlord tenant act.

I do have an agent I know personally but she's only in the area at certain times of the year.Section 8 would be better than nothing.

Explore my personal favorites, Set For Life by Scott Trench or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey, for invaluable financial insights.3.

@Pranita Maldikar Unless the seller is a family member or personal friend, I'm not sure why you'd want to put that much money down on the property.

I second this, I use rentredi for my personal properties and it makes life super easy.  

@Ryan Raven most states don't care if you screw up the management of real estate you own personally.The government does have a problem with an unlicensed person/company screwing up the management of properties they do not own.

Personally, I'm waiting for the lawsuit by a seller against his own broker for refusing to vet a potential buyer and then show to a qualified buyer.
