Budget time and energy to manage the property manager. 

thats when you sell a property that has an existing note on it..

The most basic step is to ensure that our form is in a highly visible, easy-to-access location where visitors can simply fill in their name, email, phone number, and property address.It’s honestly ridiculous that the BBB accreditation is ABOVE the form where the lead should input their details for your acquisition agent to contact them!

Properties like this interest me because of their cheap price and fairly high rents.

You can put a little as 5% down payment for conventional or 3.5% for FHA.Alternative way, is to acquire the 2nd property as an investment property with conventional, while putting 15%-25% down payment.

I've been where you are and now I own many properties out of state. 

I’ve found a distressed property while driving & I want to contact the owner but they are not living in the property.

Congratulations on the first rental and all the knowledge you have gained from it to set you up for the next property. 

Without doubt int his market a property can sell itself, so can my car, or a can of soda, if it's an awesome enough deal right, so nothing special there.

Biggest pati le is getting approved from VA and bringing property up to regulation.
