I'm a rookie investor from NYC who just signed up for Pro membership.I'm looking for someone who can be a study buddy and meet-up info in NYC.A little bit about me:- CPA (not specialized in tax ;p), no professional advice but can help with basic accounting and finance knowledge sharing.- Have been listening to Real Estate Rookie (almost a year) podcast and On the Market (a couple of weeks).- Finished reading "Real Estate Rookie" book by Ashley.- Looking for out-of-state investments, currently looking into Philly.If anything clicks you, feel free to contact me.Thank you!

@Alecia Loveless I tried, however, the Postmaster basically said--'If I make an exception with you then that will open the floodgates for doing the same for other future requests.' 

The basics of real estate remain the same wherever you decide to settle/invest. 

So, determining clear title isn't a DIY project in most cases although a savy investor can investigate a lot themselves.

Of course you should vet the potential GP to make sure they have the wherewithal and bandwidth to execute the project correctly and in the most timely manner as possible.

I assume that (for now) you are most comfortable with small projects since you said Handyman.Getting bids will suck a lot of your time away from your main investment strategy. 

Just a little suggestion to consider as you work on your house project.

My house has aluminum wiring (one breaker is copper, the rest aluminum), a federal pacific box, and a couple other electrical projects. 

Is this for rehab project ? 

We found that our out-of-state investments always worked the best when we had a local partner or partners that had an interest in the project.
