One thing my teens have taught me is not everyone wants to be contacted directly on the phone.

Start with Reonomy or Costar to identify all the 100+ units in your target market (on and off market) and then see if you can get into direct contact with some owners.

You should contact both your lender and your title company to understand their requirements.

Contact the utility provider and get a historical average based on the last year of use.

@Paige Corsello...You could call your bank contacts and find out if they are broker friendly.

Just contact a company and rent a spot out for $25,000 for 3 weeks.  

Hi Andrae, the simplest and most risk-averse way to get started investing outside of your local area would be to contact TurnKey providers in the markets you are most interested.

When I contacted MFM, they told me to direct my complaints to Prime as they operate independently of them.

Quote from @David Griffin: Is there a way to contact case worker without waiting 3 hours on section 8 hotline? 

Thank you  The good GCs charge 20% but this does not equate to your savings because the GC will have better contacts, have namer experience coordinating contractors, be more familiar with permit process and expectations of the inspectors.
