A relative who does long-distance real estate investing told me that I have to sign the final loan document and the transfer of ownership document in person.

@Rosette PooleRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Where I’m Based & Where I InvestI’m based in Belmont, MA, and just getting started in real estate investing.

While I’m new to being a real estate agent, I’m not new to investment properties.

The big issue is building a single small residential unit is the most expensive residential development.Here is a list of why adding a single ADU in single family zoned areas in my CA market is typically a poor RE investment:1) The value added by the ADU addition is often significantly less than the cost of adding the ADU.

If you can get to 10 over a 20-year period, you will change your life and look like a genius.Increase earnings, reduce expenses, save, and invest.

How long have you been in investing ? 

Lorenzo, I started investing in real estate when I was 20. 

@Megan Boyle I personally love investing in RI.

Additionally, I’m a licensed realtor in Pennsylvania, which has allowed me to expand my expertise and build a solid foundation in both investment strategies and the local market.I’m eager to connect with fellow investors, share insights, and learn from this amazing community.
