On another note why are all the comments on post out of order and how do it fix it?

Glad to have you on the forum, Jacob! 

You can also follow Richmond-focused real estate groups on social media and LinkedIn, and work with local agents specializing in investment properties to stay on top of deals.

While a lot of STRs, and properties in general, can work as an MTR, really nailing down who you'd like to serve can absolutely help guide your purchase decision on your next property. 

But MANY/maybe most people don’t know you need to spend that $10-15k on top of the solar.

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

I understand equity and cash-flow are related, but what I mean is that I don't need the cash flow right now as much as I'd like to build a strong portfolio that can cash flow even more later on.I've owned a single-family rental for 4 years, but on mulitple fronts I felt like I've done a poor job self-managing it, so this Fall I picked up the Turners' book on managing rentals and that's what led me here to Bigger Pockets online.

After working on the management side, I'm thrilled to take on new challenges in real estate and I'm eager to connect, learn, and grow within this field with everyone.I'd love to connect with other women in the Salt Lake/Utah/Weber/Davis county areas!

New neighborhoods can be brutal on investors with rules.
