Jared Love the confidence @Jared Smith!

Absolutely another good way to do this, @Dave Foster.

Once you get out and find your local REIA or meetup, you will build confidence on top of the information downloads because people just like you will already be doing what you want to do.

Thanks Luka,I'm sure you can find a banger deal in Tampa or almost anywhere for that fact.Just work the market.Nothing works unless you do lolFor example, we buy a $#%@ load of motivated seller lists and my remote team cold calls all day.They are polite, professional and persistent on the phone.Keeping good record and track everything.I'm confident that if we re-target any other market in the US, we could find deals at 30-50% of market value.Just gotta smile and dial lolAll the best mate

Most of my investments were stable and long term so I felt confident taking the risk.

This ensures that you protect existing tenants from direct competition and support their growth; this will also foster their trust in the ethics in which the property is managed. 

I also wouldn't be where I am today in terms of my contacts and relationships with vendors, to be in a position to self-manage confidently out of state.All that being said, if another deal with the same amount of hair on it presented itself to me today, I would pass simply because my risk profile has changed.

This helps you identify which factors drive the best returns and make confident, informed decisions.It’s also important to test your numbers with scenarios like higher vacancies, unexpected expenses, interest rate changes, or rent adjustments over the years.

Screening is definitely an area I studied up on beforehand, and having a large graduate student population to choose from definitely gives me more confidence.
