If you’ve worked with trustworthy contractors or subcontractors in the Jackson County/MO area (especially those familiar with investment properties), I’d love your recommendations.

The goal of a HELOC is a quick line of credit to either refinance or sell and pay back the HELOC as soon as possible.PS - I would recommend taking a look into the Columbus Ohio market, there's tons of 1% rule deals still within the 120-180k price point with amazing appreciation potential.

I highly recommend investing in a property management software, such as Hospitable, for syncing your calendar, automating messaging, and scheduling cleans, as well as a dynamic pricing tool, such as PriceLabs, for optimizing your pricing based on market demand, local events, and seasonality. 

Bonus Tip: If this quadruplex is out of state, I’d highly recommend building a reliable local team (cleaners, handymen, etc.) and maybe consider hiring a co-host or VA to help with day-to-day tasks, especially if you scale up. 

I’d recommend starting slow with one 2-4 unit using leverage and see if you even like being a landlord.

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

Recommend you have a great understanding of the answers to these questions before thinking about a lawsuit.You'll also want to use these questions as discussion points with any new PMC you interview.If you post the address, everyone here will be able to give you more feedback about the quality of the listing and perhaps more insights.

And are there any meet up groups you would recommend joining for real estate investing ?

Any recommendations of a good realtor who understands the needs of an out-of-state investor who works the Lorain area of OH would greatly be appreciated.

Hey, I’m looking to connect and network with private individuals who lend money on real estate deals. Do you know of any good websites where I can post my deals?
