Quote from @Dave Foster: @Bill B., Pretty much hit the nail on the head here.

Hey everyone, my name is Joshon Foster I’m from NC.

hi just read the book and here to foster some partnerships in development (land to turn key) and short term airbnb rental scaling. i own a few pcs of real estate and rentals and was previously a licensed agent in CA, nice to meet you all

CrestCore has produced an awesome interactive website ranking the zip codes in Memphis.

@Dave Foster Thanks for the idea on reverse exchange.

You can use @Dave Foster for your QI.

NY times did an expose on insurance company losses that should make you worry. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/05/13/climate/home-...

My last interaction with an agent was he was supposed to call us Monday at 10:00 a.m. about a property that was in the half million dollar range so a nice tidy sum for basically going and opening a door. 

As Dave “the expert” foster said.

Properties within driving distance offer several advantages:Hands-on management: You can personally handle issues like maintenance, repairs, and tenant interactions, which is invaluable when you're learning the ins and outs of rental management.Cost efficiency: Without needing to rely on a property manager from the start, you’ll save on fees.Faster response time: Being local means you're close enough to address emergencies or inspect the property as needed.Starting with a nearby property often leads to a smoother learning experience.
