Hi,When considering investing out of state, is it best practice to find a local lender in the market I want to invest in?

I hope to connect with people in the community, learn how to shop investments, find markets, and all things CRE.

Glad to hear you've decided on a market, have a plan, and budget in place!

Knowledge of local markets, state tax laws and being a real estate investor are all important in your search for a CPA.

Brian Chesky (Co-Founder and CEO of Airbnb) said they have realized 5 major things to dominate this market. 1.

I am a seasoned marketer for Window Installers.

I think they are bigger than I had in initially assumed.

If the numbers don't add up, then that's the time to explore other markets.

I have done this a few times myself and have a few basic recommendations:1) Make sure the seller owns the property free and clear and that it's very clear to both parties whether the arrangement involves a deed of trust or contract for deed2) If a balloon payment is involved, be sure to assess your ability to refinance and make that balloon payment in the future- optional extensions can help manage this risk3) Understand the tax implications if the interest rate is notably above or below market rates4) Get title insurance! 

Hi all -I have a house on the market that is not selling.
