I gravitate towards "red states" given the landlord-friendly laws and relative ease of evictions, which unfortunately are unavoidable in the buy and hold game.

Yes, but they were not investor friendly and didn't have the best communication.

I have used Equity Trust and have had friends use it. 

I'm searching for an investor friendly agent in that city.

Multifamily properties in Memphis are still reasonably priced compared to other markets, and landlords benefit from landlord-friendly laws and relatively low property taxes.Additionally, many investors have successfully implemented the strategy you’re considering—acquiring and eventually paying off properties while maintaining steady cash flow.

Now if and when there is ever a problem at the property , they will give a friendly call 

I also did a trial of buildium and liked it, but I felt rentvine was a little more user friendly.  

I am an investor friendly agent, and an investor myself in small residential multifamily in central MA.

@Bruce Woodruff I’m in a group of friends who book an annual trip to just this type of property.

@Pranita Maldikar Unless the seller is a family member or personal friend, I'm not sure why you'd want to put that much money down on the property.
