I went through multiple management companies, contractors, realtors, etc.... to find the few good ones that I have.Probably the most important ingredient is the property manager, they can make or break your out of state investment.

If you are seeking properties on the MLS with seller financing, then you should go after those listings labelled with that info first.

The key ingredient is making sure to buy the properties right so that if there is a downturn in the market, you're still able to make money.Please let me know if you'd like to know about specific opportunities.

The time to spend money on your training is when you seek niche specific expertise.The missing ingredient is massive, effective action.

I understand that when the property is labeled as "bank-owned," it indicates that the title is usually cleared of liens.

For me, it's time and fewer headaches so I've always gone turnkey.But also too, within the spectrum of non-turnkey, there's a big difference between buying a total dump and rehabbing it and buying a rent-ready (or close to it) property that just isn't necessarily labeled turnkey.
