I invest locally because I am fortunate to live in an affordable, thriving real estate market but I also have experience working with investors from out of state and even internationally.

If you sell the property for what you want but decide to be the bank, you can send up with a fortune even if the house did not turn out exactly the way you wanted.

Fortunately, the tenants that were occupying the unit I am moving into decided to move out before July 1.

They acted in good faith when they took out the lease and could never have predicted the good fortune life handed them.

Fortunately, nobody can see me, because I may not be dressed very well..I think people who want to live on a golf course love being on display, at least they like the idea of it when they buy it, because you actually rarely ever see anyone.

City is home to seven Fortune 500 companies, including Procter & Gamble, Kroger, and Fifth Third Bancorp.

Every new investor who thinks they will make a fortune buying C and D crapboxes in the Midwest needs to read this…… 

we were very fortunate not face any major issues.

When the cat leaves, the mice will play".Most folks that invest out of state are cat's that are never present.So the realtors, contractors and property manager (The mice), are always playing and making a fortune doing so.You really need to spend a lot of time in establishing the right relationships in order to make it work from afar.Picking a market, visiting it regularly and immersing yourself in it non stop.Having family can also help but I decided a long time ago to not mix business with family and friends as it can get heart breaking when things don't turn out well.Wishing you much success

I was fortunate enough to find a job that worked in multifamily synidcation and I was there for 4.5 years and I learned a ton.
