Hi all, I'm looking into investing on Montgomery AL, any lenders an also real estate professionals that you guys can recommend for the area? 

Hello Tosin, professionally we use Appfolio for our tenant portal.

They said it just needs to be done in a professional manner.

I would recommend networking with some local investors in Texas who could give you unbiased feedback (not someone trying to sell you anything) and 3 to 5 property managers.

And you want to go to 5 networking events.

It is hard to break into the network when you are new because experienced investors are weary. 

Im looking forward to networking and building relationships and a team with people in this community. 

If you aren't a Real Estate Professional, I am not sure adding more to your portfolio, with the main intention being tax reduction, is the best option.

Educate yourself on the local market, network with other investors and agents, and always have a solid plan in place before making any investments.Also, I recommend reading “Long-Distance Real Estate Investing: How to Buy, Rehab, and Manage Out-of-State Rental Properties” - I found it to be very helpful when I got started investing 2.5 years ago.

Happy Wednesday BP community,Being in such a high demand market, networking and finding reliable people to work with has been challenging.
