Make friends and ask people to sit in on their deals.

Laguna is a great area I have some good friends down there if you need some references. 

Yes, generally speaking, depending on tenant class, it's best not to get too friendly with your tenants.

I have a friend that takes sec 8 tenants.

I would rather just refer them to a friend in my network for free.Seller financing works well with someone who wants cash flow for a longer period of time than I am working in.

They also handle legal matters, like making sure the property follows the rules or dealing with evictions if necessary.For finding deals, I recommend starting by connecting with investor-friendly agents in your target market.

There's a lot of things im unsure of and any small mistake will hurt since things are tight make more friends that have money, see if theyre willing to do the deal with you if you can find a way to make them money without them having to do any work. 

Fortunately for me all my friends have already called dibs!

Coming from other areas and moving here, I've found Kentucky to be very friendly in the out skirts however my experience is limited to Lexington and Southern counties.

We worked with a lawyer over there who is a US ex-pat who created and registered a local LLC for us, which owns our properties.
