I'm never in favor of government over stepping, but I can also see how desperate individuals can be taken advantage of during this tragedy. 

Recently a friend recommended I looked into BiggerPockets as I was telling them about my "concept of a plan" and maybe he could also notice my hesitation.

My best friend lives in Kingman with his mother.

I invest in Boise, ID and do quite a few BRRRRs, LTRs and STRs- varying degrees of success depending on how much equity we can force and the type of back end financing we can find, but the tax benefits are great and it's a rapidly growing market and Idaho is probably the most landlord friendly state in the nation. 

Would love to connect with investor friendly real estate agents, other wholesalers, and cash buyers.Looking forward to meeting all of you!

Making matters worse, 99.9% of individuals on BiggerPockets who want to buy in distant markets do so because the entry cost of doing business is lower.

Could be.I think that for most individual American investors leverage is a critical tool. 

It's a landlord friendly state.2.

I remember working with a friend who inherited his aunt’s home.. he got so caught up in the emotional side of it that he forgot the nuts and bolts..like having a good plan for the renovation budget and timeline.

Quote from @Colby Burns: You can also partner with an Investor friendly Realtor who has a team of PMs, GCs etc for you.
