I appreciate the encouragement—I'm excited to learn from and connect with investors in this community.Right now, I’m primarily focused on house hacking in the LA market, but I’m open to exploring out-of-state opportunities later in my career.

Since you're open to markets beyond NYC, you might want to connect with local investor meetups or REI groups in those areas to build relationships with agents, wholesalers, and lenders who understand the nuances of each market.If you're looking to break out of analysis paralysis, maybe start by narrowing down one or two target markets and running numbers on actual deals.

As an out of state investor, I would love to connect and potentially have a property manager in my team that experience in Section 8 rental. 

.- Now helping other investors achieve their goals, whether you are brand new or a well seasoned investor.How I Can Help: -Connecting investors with trusted contractors, lenders, attorneys, property managers etc.

We believe the best way to do this is:To ensure sustained occupancy, positive tenant reviews are crucial.

Start by networking at local meetups and connecting with investors, agents, and property managers.

Consult an attorney to review the zoning and see what is possible.

I am strongly considering investing into private notes with Aloha Capital. Has anyone worked with them before?  If so, how was your experience.

Thank you,
Travis

@Kiryl Ulanovich,You're on the right track:Get Pre-Approval from Hard Money Lender – Know your terms and limits upfront.Find a Deal Through a Wholesaler – Verify numbers and ensure it meets your criteria.Review the Assignment of Contract – Confirm terms, earnest money, and contingencies.Conduct Due Diligence – This includes an inspection (if allowed), verifying ARV, and rehab estimates.Submit to Hard Money Lender for Final Approval – Lender will review title, contract, and property condition.Title Search & Clear Any Issues – Ensure a clean title before closing.Close Through Title Company – Finalize funding and take ownership.Consider also lining up contractors early for a smooth transition into renovations.

All are good.I'd be happy to connect and help anyway I can.
