Quote from @Clarence Harvey: Quote from @Wale Lawal: @Clarence HarveyCleveland is a popular market for real estate investors, especially those planning house hacking, rentals, and BRRRR strategies.

I renovated the entire home while living in it for a year and a half, moved out, and made it my first rental.

Does anyone use a tool of some sort to plan out a cash flow tree with rentals? 

I currently own multiple rental properties in both CA and TN.

Hi BP,I own 2 rental properties in Baltimore MD and i am first having trouble deciding on whether to place them in an LLC or not (I plan to slowly scale and house hack a new property once a year).

Which is why you should work with a realtor, and preferably, a fellow investor to help you find rentals in areas that have decent rental returns, etc.

They want to start out wholesaling in their spare time to build capital to buy long term rentals. 

Now, that said, your location is still good as Athens is a growing area and I've heard positives about it from other investors - however, we do not invest there at all (we don't have anything west of the city of Madison), so I honestly couldn't give you any feedback on the rental market there. 

Verifying last 2 years of rental history very important!

I'm looking for advice on how to feel more comfortable pulling the trigger on my first out of state rental property.
