With their established networks and resources, they can resolve issues more efficiently and with less stress for the property owner.However, if you have the time and availability to oversee daily operations full-time or nearly full-time, self-management may be the better choice for starting out.

NETWORK!!!

Let’s cut through the nonsense: this isn’t about networking.

I recommend you go visit a few times to network with local investors or find an investor friendly agent so you can gain local market knowledge, find off market deals and for things such as showings, picture taking or getting accurate comps.

You might find someone in your network who’s ready to sell a property, or someone who has advice specific to your market.Real estate investing is a journey of learning and growth.

Research the area's nuances, understand BRRRR financing strategy, network with local investors, analyze potential deals, use VA loans wisely, explore financing options, and network through investor groups.

@Jeanette Land why don't you canvas your network to find a money partner?

It's possible to do out of state investing in Cleveland or Akron, but you need to build a team and start networking with folks here.

To scale, replicate this winning formula in similar markets, optimize operations for Section 8 tenants, and consider networking with like-minded investors to uncover new opportunities and partnerships.

My wife and I are in the process of looking for our first investment property and look forward to networking with the BP community.
