Sometime the tenant is in transition (just got divorced, relocated, etc).

Say a new investor is starting out and he can relocate himself to anywhere in the western states that he wanted ( Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, eastern Washington, mainly for outdoor interests).

No owner operator and there has to be seasoned managers and assistant managers on the books and it still cash flows great.I look for motivated owners where the business is awesome they are just motivated for personal reasons. ( partnership split, other interests, another business needs more of their time where they have additional risk exposure, death, health reasons, relocating, divorce, retiring, etc.)I want to hit price to net profit of 2 or less.

These necessary funds may go unpaid by Property Owners for various reasons (Death of Property Owner, Divorce, Relocation, New Jobs, Loss of Income/Wages, etc..).

Moving into a rural area, for example isn't an option.I wil be relocating to the new city and immediately look for a full time job.

I know I'm jumping in randomly, but I'm starting to break bread with SA investors shortly after having relocated here from DC and looking to purchase a first investment property.

Ask what (if any) lead programs the company has for you to be involved with (Internet leads, relocation, referrals, etc).It's an exciting business but its hard to get started, so choosing a brokerage that gives you the most tools possible is important.Best of luck to you!

I graduated college with a B.S. in Agriculture Business in May '13, and just relocated to Nashville, TN in December '14.    

selling my first home (purchased foreclosure 3years ago) and relocating to Las Vegas.

. - Since these are currently just proposals, is the significant upside potential of growth in the city worth buying SFR's in the suburbs now with the hopes that the city will draw new interest for those looking to relocate to FL?
