Managed and renovated entire triplex in a newly revitalized area.

We manage a property that was having drain field issues for awhile, got estimates and had the owner approve one of the vendors.

Connect with other investors, agents, and property managers to get a feel for the area and learn from their experiences.Are you thinking about house hacking or just straight-up rentals for now?

Anyone know the names of the funds that Lee claims to manage?

For STRs, properties near the beach or downtown tend to perform well.Start Small and Smart: If this is your first property, focus on something manageable.

Long distance investing/managing is an obvious for me since I move every couple years, but I retire from the Navy in 5-7 years, and I'll finally settle in one place. 

G'Day Alejandro,As a few have already mentioned, take a peak at Toledo also.In my opinion lower potential for long term appreciation but solid/"boring" cashflow.I prefer my portfolio to be "boring" but cashflowing lolLow entry points (Sub $100,000), high rents (Above the 1% rule).Blue collar working class decent folks that will stay and pay.Depending on the area but no derelict homes, yards well kept, cars with wheels and all tenants are employed.Plus, all are sophisticated enough to pay rent online so property management doesn't have to collect rents with bullet proof vests and shot guns lolI'm bias toward Toledo but it's worth considering.Wishing you much success

For the property I purchase, I’d like to keep my monthly mortgage payments at $2,000 or less.I prefer a turn-key property since this is my first rental, and I want to start generating monthly cash flow immediately without the delay of repairs or managing two mortgages.

,I have sold and been managing properties that are near the MIA and haven't had any complaints from residents who are living in them.

I am a local agent, property manager, investor, and house hacker in SLC area.
