Hello BP Friends,We have dropped the ball. 

Glad to help you put together the details, my friend.

Asking for a friend ;) 

I have a few architect friends that have gone through the process in multiple cities.

Me and my friend have lived at home for more than a year and have saved up enough money to buy a house and move out. 

There are many investor friendly brokerages. 

Do you have family or friends in those other states you have properties?

Please click on the links, give them a read, and share your thoughts in the comments.First is a post that I feel will help not get overwhelmed with the amount of info that is here on BP:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/5868/52761-the-simple-guide-to-getting-started-on-bp The second is a post that will help get you focused with your real estate investing goals:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/5868/52743-im-new-to-bp-any-advice-would-be-appriciatedThe last one is a post that will help you choose an “investor friendly” real estate agent.

Just spouting out here, but definitely get that clarified as you do not want to cross the line where a friend is planning on paying you commission from the sale as if you were an agent if you don't have your license. 

Everyone I know is aware that I buy houses , I tell my customers , friends , etc .
