@Jay Sloan  Hello, for someone who is interested in learning about commercial real estate can you tell me why the proof of funds from Peter Harris' company seemed out of the ordinary? 

There are companies also that just tunnel. 

Regardless of whether the owner turns a profit, brokers are called up on to sell, lease and manage, lenders will finance, contractors (often affiliated with PM companies will be called upon to put out the constant fires).

Please stop asking us for "the best" zip codes to invest in.Detroit has around 183 Residential Neighborhoods - wouldn't it be nice if "some proprety mangagement company" Classified them all as A, B, C, or D on an interactive map that real estate investors could use to make better decisions?

As for the Indianapolis market goes, I imagine a RE attorney or Title company will be a great starting point for me.

MF properties are viewed as businesses, thus often priced as a multiple of annual income potential (like any other business, whether you're selling a donut shop or a tech company).

The key here is finding a tenant with strong financials and a long lease term to ensure stable income over time.If you still like owning real estate but don’t want to deal with tenants directly, you could consider larger assets like multifamily or industrial properties and hire a professional management company.

1st step is to make sure that the electricity is rated for having electric heat by the electric company.

I work with a lot of househackers and they're typically on the 12 month cycle, rinse and repeat.While the proposition of acquiring an investment property outside of your market in a "landlord friendly" state may sound appealing, i would recommend you stay local for now and househack another couple of properties over the next few years until you've got some more time / experience under your belt.you would need a management company to cover your property that is outside of your market which would not only take 8-10% of your gross it would also leave you a bit vulnerable to a property management company that you A.)know nothing about and B.)you won't have the experience or cashflow or proximity to deal with any headaches that may arise.i would recommend staying local and househacking your way along for now and then maybe hire a local property management company initially to work with your current/local properties to get a taste of what to expect if and when you begin investing outside of your market.
