However, when it comes to domestically local real estate we have a particular challenge.

Stay local.

Instead of spending time on systems before you own your first rental property, you should be out at real estate investor meetups meeting other local investors who are only a little ahead of where you want to be.

However, depending on where your rental community is located, local city/county ordinances could have those requirements.

As soon as those ten days are up, you can file a Landlord-Tenant complaint at the local district court.

Get with a good local agent who understands the submarkets, and buy for the long term.

There is a distinct advantage of having local management (whether you or a company is managing).

Trophy Point never filed the Release of Mortgage with my local land records and this is now obviously getting in the way of closing.

Local investors or agnets that work with investors will know who to go to.

I decided to invest with Scott Carson after attending a few of his NoteCamp online courses and taking his Virtual Note Buying for Dummies course.
