Start small with manageable properties, mitigate risk with house hacking or partnerships, and stay active in the community.

Hello everyone,I am getting ready to make my first home a rental property.

He said he does not physically visit the properties

I've just put my fifth rental property under contract and I'm really starting to hate manually dealing with bookkeeping in Stessa every month.

Hello, My name is Matthew I'm new to real estate investing and am currently looking to start off with a rental property to get started, having done a lot of reading and research on my end I'm still looking into getting a better understanding and more knowledge so that I can be as prepared as I can be.

I like one of our attorneys viewpoint (from our REI) who owns lots of property, He holds properties that have mortgages in his own name and holds larger properties where he has partners in an LLC.

A STR is both a business and a real estate investment.Having little oversight on a newly formed business would make me anxious also.As others have suggested, you should consider going to the area for the initial items(Purchase, renovation, etc).Once you buy 1-2 properties, you can look to unload these items to someone else.Best of luck

STR. it's so property specific.

Close on the property- Purchase a Home Owners Warranty to cover the HVAC.
