Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

They could be traveling for work or for personal reasons (I actually rented a place off Airbnb in Billings, MT during football season when my son played football in college so I could be there for his games.)

Investment Info:Townhouse buy & hold investment.

I also plan on forming 2 new LLCs, 1 for new acquisitions and 1 for marketing my buy-and-hold rentals.

Sometimes I get a hold of a family member who knows the person I am attempting to contact - which is my book is a win!

@Barb Knowles If you're just starting out, you may want to build up more cash before you start buying and holding if funds are low.

They are the unrelated 3rd party who documents the exchange at the sale and purchase and holds the proceeds in between. 

This is true with how you structure your deal: pref, carry, fees and waterfall, projected return thresholds, hold periods, etc.Reputable sources: there are many mastermind groups out there.  

I only buy off-market now.Here are just a few: properties with title issues, court settlement claims, master leasing, lien & mortgage acquisition, seller carry back, options as well as traditional buy & holds, flips.

Decide which game you want to play.
