Whenever you are buying a property out of state you should do a few things to ensure it's as smooth as possible.Don't buy in the roughest neighborhood in the urban core.

@Michael Plaks I pay my realtor if a) My BRRRR deal goes successfully (so that she stays involved and helps make sure everything goes smoothly) b) She buys me a house from a wholesaler if that wholesaler doesn't pay a realtor commission. 

Make these repairs and correct any deferred maintenance and focus on getting the existing complex running smoothly.

Also building a good investing infrastructure as you are getting into things will benefit you if you intend on doing this long-term: find lenders, CPAs and attorneys who also invest in real estate to work with as they will be the ones who can help you set things up for smooth sailing and answer questions with the niche advice you want.This isn't legal advice, simply my opinion as a real estate investor.

A smooth sea never produced a skilled sailor (Franklin D.

I now have three SFRs and they are running very smoothly.

Richard,All a part of investing in Real estate, if you need to be able to take the ups and downs when investing in real estate, it's not all smooth sailing when you invest.1/2 my rentals are student and the other 1/2 are regular rentals, you have to diversify between the two, having steady tenants helps offset any vacancy you may have with students.Renting to students can bring some good income, you can usually get more per room then if you rent to a family and usually your rent is a little less than the dorms, so families save money.

Their claim is that 72% of the loans nationwide are completed in 7 days with the remainder of the 28% taking 15-21 days.Keep in mind this 72% is probably really smooth files such as 740+ fico, primary occupant, W2 salary only income, long stable history for employment, income, and residency.I know you're probably thinking shoot if I can close in 8 days I might be able to compete with cash investors on properties right?

To run you through the numbers, we purchased the property for $115,450 and had to pay $8,565 in closing costs (or just under 7.5% of the total purchase price).As for the rehab, everything went relatively smooth.

It wasn’t a go and show though, I was always there to show the unit just to make sure everything went smoothly, but it sounds you have a good amount of options here!
