I would advise finding an investor friendly realtor when you choose a market.

I'd love to help by sending over my investor friendly PMs, lenders, GCs, etc.

Just basic face to face talks with people soon to be friends.

The best way to navigate through all of these hurdles is to find an agent-friendly investor that is finding off-market deals solely for their clients

I grew up in North Florida so I have a lot of family, friends and business contacts in that area.  

Your choice should align with whether your goal is quick resale or long-term rental income, and you should consult lenders who specialize in both DSCR and rehab-friendly options.Best regards, Stevan

Legal RequirementsIndiana landlord-tenant laws are generally landlord-friendly but require you to be diligent.

Just google the following: - special assessment - zombie condos - Florida condos (look for recent news)Since you are not living near the properties anyways, why not look in a landlord friendly state where the purchase prices are lower?

rent out all the bedrooms to your friends.
