Bloomberg published this article today to summarize a Redfin report that one third of home buyers in the U.S. are bidding on houses sight unseen:https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-26...Most if not all of this activity occurs in hot markets.

Active involvement or passive?

Scott Carson is likely under the assumption that you are already an active member of Facebook. 

Double check with a tax pro, though.Receiving interest, for me anyway, is one of the most highly taxed activities as well. 

@Jackson Tate  My favorite contractor for that kind of work has retired to full-time ministry. 

With that said, if there are recommendations for either of the above, or if there are active Agents and PM's on here that would like to meet with me, please reply or send me a PM.Here are my expectations:- I have cash on hand $150k for purchase and rehab prior to refinancing. - I would like to focus on B and C+ properties only.- Strategy is long-term buy and hold.- Purchase price to Rent ratio = 1% minimum- SFR to start off with, would consider multi-family in future based on performance/faith in team.- Minimum 1 purchase 2018.

Not my favorite type of tenant.

Hey Guys,I currently have an active California Real Estate Agent License.

I’m an active agent here on island and was previously a professional wholesaler in Tx.

In the great state of Iowa it requires 2 years as an active realtor to manage properties unless you are doing so under some one else.
