-------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

The more information that you have out there the easier it is for people to find you, if you want them to find you.I almost everyday wear my "Rick Buys Houses" shirts with my phone number on it. 

Quote from @Allison Cutlip: Hi all, My boyfriend and I are buying our first home that is a duplex, planning to live in one unit and rent the other side.

To find someone, I’d start by reaching out to local rehab centers or recovery organizations as they often know operators who are looking for housing.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

I wouldn't recommend setting up an LLC out of state if you are buying in Tennessee unless your tax advisor is looking to help you on strategy.. but from a numbers standpoint, it really doesn't make sense when you start adding up on all of the annual LLC reporting fees from different states and then it starts cutting into your cashflow.

To avoid pitfalls, research liens, check property conditions, and set a max bid before buying.

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) buy & hold investment in Flagler Beach.

Purchased as an asset sale in October 2019 as a buy/hold investment.

Northern New Jersey has very little land, therefore the price to buy land is too high unless you somehow get it at a great price.
