Investors like me are left sifting through overpriced junk instead of finding real opportunities. 

.: Hey everyone,I’m diving into the world of out-of-state real estate investing and couldn’t be more excited (and maybe a little nervous).

In my case, I have residential rentals in one LLC, commercial properties in another, self storage in a third, and my real estate company operates in a fourth.

I am also a real estate appraiser encompassing the areas of the southern metro down to mankato and over to rochester.

Always underwrite conservatively Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

As I see it, the only ways that real estate pays you well in the first 3-5 years is low to no leverage or a strategy that requires more work (short term rental, mid term rental, rent by the room, etc.).  

Also be aware of Unrelated Business Income Tax (or UBIT) on leveraged real estate inside of an IRA.Or better yet, since you are self-employed - go with a truly self-directed Solo 401k plan, which would be a much better option and will help you avoid the UBIT on this investment.

I first got started in real estate investing working for a real estate private equity firm in NYC.

OO loan seems like real long shot. 

I've been learning real-estate for over a year.
