I am very happy I called the management companies and feel that they are the people who are in the know and can be a vital asset to what is going on in the community.

Again, I would check local rental rates, but especially 4/2 generally are gold.

In the meantime.... find a mentor, and offer to help them with stuff, a mentor can be worth their weight in gold, and real estate is all about connections, so while it may not buy you a house, investing in a friendship with a good mentor will help you a lot down the road!

That's gold Cornelius....

The big guys are at least 3 times more expensive.I consider the local guys gold.

Because the subsidies are so large, some enrollees can get free Bronze plans, or Gold plans that are less expensive than Silver plans.

As a Realtor working with investors both from BP and elsewhere, the calculators are gold.

I shouldn't laugh, my mom did the same and we thought we were uptown when we covered that awful hickory hardwood with soft, beautiful, gold, thick shag carpet. 

Having "boots-on-the-ground" in an area that the investor is unfamiliar with is vital to the process. 

Then be sure to give your new tenants all the vital info for you: contact info and address for payment.
