I watch a lot of David Greene's YT videos and have messaged him directly and he gave me solid advice - if I'm going to buy outside of California, to go for appreciation states and look at the asset. 

As others have said watch out for property taxes and home insurance too. 

There are multi-million dollar houses that you can walk just a couple short blocks and watch the neighborhood get pretty rough and potentially dangerous.

But if you look into their marketing, socials, Youtube, IG, past sales record on Zillow and stuff you can see if they really are in the investment space or if they work with traditional homeowners.

Check out this youtuber video about owner-occupants in areas of Florida having to sell at a loss. https://youtu.be/wpKpwUhPRrA?

I actually just made a whole video about how I pick virtual mailboxes on my YouTube Channel :)

I would have never suspected giving somebody who has no money and no experience to buy real estate would not get returnedOh and your payday lending loan is also not securedI remember when I used to drive by stores like this called payday loans and pawnshops - which atleast there you had to give up your Casio watch

Either buy what you can afford, or stay out of the game till you can afford it.Anyone involved in trainings, mentorships etc on any topic, anywhere, my advice to you is PRESS IN, get closer to your group, sit at the feet of the 'masters' so to speak...then watch what happens to your knowledge, and your business.

I'd recommend a "Templates Folder" that has templates for common used docs like leases, notices, advertisements for properties.I actually just did full video on my Google Drive set up over on my YouTube channel :)
