I love to travel and want to be able to do it more often without the tie down of a day to day job, not only for myself but also for my future family.Currently on my journey I am starting to dip my hands into gaining as much knowledge as possible, starting my relationship journey by attempting to build my key team, and preparing a plan that will weather storms.I am a veteran and want to start my journey house hacking and using 0 down VA on a multi-family rental, to eventually move on to more multi-families.I currently live in the North New Jersey area, so if you are around, want to chat, have some ideas, need some ideas (I can be creative at times) let me know!

Our Buffalo sports teams I classify as more of a sickness you can never shake no matter how bad it gets

Area is important, however if your buying out of state the most important component is your team!

I'd also strongly consider getting a CPA on your team.

Communication with different team members such as a realtor, inspector, lender, property manager, an insurance agent becomes overwhelming and difficult to keep a track of emails in an organized manner. every member may have their own portals (dotloop etc )  to keep a track of but it is not from an investor's perspective.

Turnkey, MLS or creating a team like @David Greene and BRRRRing?

If you do not have a go-to lawyer on your team, you need to get one -- the lawyer is right up there with the accountant, the plumber, and the handyman (if that's not you) on the list of people you have to be able to rely on.3.

What I would suggest you asking this group is: track record, the whole team involved, how have they set up the deal incase a downturn comes before the sale of this property, and why the debt is recourse?

@Steve Maginnis@Jared Wonders@Levi Bennett@Jay Hinrichs@Thomas Passenant@Melissa GravesSounds like we have a good team already.
