My immediate goal is to acquire our first property and spend the next two years mastering the basics of real estate investment. ( Refining the Go and No property search criteria/ Learning the value of taxes and avoiding them as much as possible/ 1031 exchanges) Depending on my wife’s career orders, we may remain in Baltimore for 1-2 years, but I’m also exploring opportunities in West Texas, Sierra Vista, AZ, and Houston, TX.

Have you tried searching through local Facebook groups?

I did a quick google search, but didn't find it. 

I saw this post in my own search for rezoning information in Denver.

However, before doing anything I take my time to gather information, think outside the box, connect with people who have done the very thing that other people say is impossible, stay patient, see whether there are any unique solutions I can bring, and only then decide what to do.Thanks a lot for your feedback, and I'm looking forward to learning more, especially on the thesis of not using short-term debt for a long-term investment.  

I mostly work in low to moderate income areas anyway so it checks all those other boxes.

For example we invest in mortgage notes so we have an AI agent that only scans the documents we have and lists and if we asked a question like "who are our top rates attorneys in texas", it will give me the results vs. having to search files.

In searching for a new solution, I came across baselane.com and it seems to solve for most of the functionalities offered by Stessa+Avail.co.

We use Avail.co to manage our leases, and it's a simple box to check to require tenants to get a policy.

Thats kind of the beauty of thes exchanges.. you get to reposition your capital, ideally in a property that ticks more of the boxes you need.Now, thinking about older buildings.. some folks underestimate how well older properties can hold up if they’re in a good location.
