Any recommendations of good markets outside of Florida would be great to learn.Thanks.Hey Kanika, totally can relate with you being from an expensive real estate market - I moved to Columbus a few years ago (from Portland, Oregon which was super expensive) to become a full time real estate investor, and ever since, I've completed quite a lot of BRRRRs, flips, and own a successful rental portfolio here in Columbus Ohio.

In some cases, the juice isn't worth the squeeze; this sounds like it might fall in that category.

It sounds like you're growing your rental portfolio, so I suggest managing your properties like a business from the start.

So you can get the 75%LTV cashout refinance as soon as you are completed with the renovations and get a tenant in place.Hope this helped, happy to connect on this further! 

It sounds like she has a good bit of experience with short term rentals.Here is the article for you on virtual assistants.

There's a variety of ways to get a deal in front of you (I'm mostly a flipper), but basically if it looks promising, I run custom comps queries and check the current & past $/sf of renovated/distressed product in that city or zipcode.Here's a chart on 90066 I generated from my tool under Market Stats > Sales Data > Specific Zip Code:- My above chart (more available) shows the Avg Renovated $/sf (High) over time in this Zip Code, something completely different than charts/providers based on Averages/Medians only, like every other platform (RedFin Below, https://www.redfin.com/news/data-center/):- Can't select smaller locations such as City or Zipcode for their $/sf data, so it's useless helping me underwrite/verify a deal.- Can set Zip Code for Median Sale Price data, but again it's the median/avg so it's useless helping me underwrite/verify a deal.Then if that looks decent, I'll run Sales Comps, and get a quick summary of some key metrics based on those comps.

The exit strategy would be to sell or refinance after the work is completed and the property value is where it should be.  

If the deals sounds to good to be true, it probably is.

I’m completely new to bigger pockets and real estate investing.
