There is a huge amount to know managing properties and it varies by state and even county.

Hello, I've tried searching this topic, but could only find an article about a car left in a garage a house was bought.  

Ikenna,Depending on where you are located and your comfort level you can find a lot of great deals in multiple states. 

I'm Kalli from soon-to-be Idaho (travel physical therapist and been state hopping), My partner and I have been very curious about real estate investing for a couple of years now.

Out of state investing can also be an option because it takes less capital to get started than CA.

Texas is a great state to hang up your license and with property values increasing and rates on the edge of a breaking point. 

I am very sorry to hear about this.FREC does have funds for owners that been harmed by licensed real estate agents in the state of Florida.  

I was wondering whether I can show an executed lease between me and my LLC to make 75% of the rental income stated in the lease count toward qualifying for the new primary residence mortgage which allows me to put down only 5%.

Getting started I wouldn't avoid single family homes, there are more of them, they cost less comparatively, and as Greg stated they are just less complex.

Seller expectations are still high and out-of-state investors are often meeting those expectations.
