@Daniel Palma, Hi, great job on your closing your first deal!

Love it, great job

I spent a weekend looking at their business processes, build quality and the neighborhoods they were in.In my experience the two most important things when investing out of state is to know the market (over 1 million in population with consistent growth, a business friendly government, inexpensive houses, and plenty of jobs) and get to know the team enough to trust them (Do they have construction and property management under 1 roof, how do they acquire their properties, do they know neighborhoods street by street, what is their screening process, etc)Even though i live in ohio and there are some great markets in Cleveland and Columbus, because i have found a great team in Indy, i’ve Been investing with them over the past 5 years and now have 10 units with them.I’ve used leverage in my local markets for growth and SDIRA with the turnkeys to grow my retirement.

I am a local union electrician for Alameda county and have been building up a list of contacts of the tradesmen I met throughout my career and got along with on the job site, these individuals specialize in their own trade and are trust worthy people in general which was a big reason we got along.

Lenders love military and will loan to you over others who may have more money than you because you have a solid job. 

Great job at locking down multi in a more competitive area of our market! 

If there are drug dealers and prostitutes they're doing a damn good job at hiding it.Unfortunately, there seems to be some sort of discrepancy with the city appraised valuation.

And this time I hope I can do a better job because I am sure I got my back covered with pros at BIGGER POCKETS and hopefully local Reia which I am about to join soon.

Also, most lenders want to see stable job and income history so it may be harder to qualify for a loan until you are out of school and start working full time.
