-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

For those who manage your properties out of state, what door locks would you recommend?

I do recommend creating (and keeping updated) written policies for all of your leasing and screening process, and making them available to folks during the application and screening process (talking about, sending links to, emailing, & reminding, the more times they see it the better even though they likely won't read it).

Most professionals will recommend a separate LLC for every $1 million in assets but I don't think that's necessary.

Seems like a pretty fair recommendation to me.

For cash flow, I'd recommend checking out the Triad (Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point) or Fayetteville in NC and Sumter and Florence in SC. 

I also recommend you talk to Section 8 about handling problematic Section 8 renters.

Appreciate any guidance.Best regards  My recommendation is ot search the forum posts here on SDIRA and lenders as there are very few lenders and you can google and look up here on BP the terms that they provide. 

I recommend attending different Real Estate Investors Association meetings to network and get a feel for the landscape.

I haven't dug into the actual agreement, but was curious because I'm not in a position to house hack, but see many people on here recommend the strategy.
