Reason I ask is there are more 2-4 unit investment rentals in these states that have a better purchase to cash flow ratio versus NY.Each county is diferent buy NY has some crazy high taxes along with attorney state and higher fee's.   

For example, one municipality local to me requires a sewer inspection because some houses still have gutter downspouts tied into the sewer system which is improper.

Doing edu systems n all that jazz like YT. 

On the business management side, I've invested roughly $10k into the systems for financial and operations through courses and consultants.A great Facebook group I'd recommend Remodelers Community -- I know it says remodelers but this group has a resource called the "remodelers vault" where members have pitched in their resources like contracts, cash flow trackers, QC checklists and more that are invaluable starting out as a residential GCBest of luck, you got this

@James Masotti I have an incredible robust Podio system that integrates with Basecamp and other project management software systems.

Our thought is a bunch of $.06 per minute charges on your credit card would be too many line items on your CC statement, so by default the system will reload your account in $50 increments (you can change this to any increment)In the dialer interface, I thought we displayed $99 for unlimited minutes as an add-on to the main app as an alternative to pay per minute.

This is why I stress the importance of knowing the laws and the strength of the legal system before investing in a particular market.

The low income versus high cost of living is referred to locally as the sunshine tax. https://www.businessinsider.com/most-expensive-places-to-liv...https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/sandiegocitycal...It is my view that the incomes cannot sustain the high cost of housing in San Diego but it has seemed this way to me for four decades and yet the RE prices keep increasing.  

Create systems and processes right off the bat.

Am I misunderstanding the system of using private money, do I still need to fund down payments?
