A property manager who can educate you on a market, help you form a strategy, fit right into your due diligence process, and execute on a clear takeover game plan as soon as you hold title.There are many good investment properties with great cash flow even after all expenses are calcuated.

For example, I spend considerable time contacting agents, property manager, lawyers, contractor, mortgage brokers, etc to building a team of ongoing contacts and selecting couple that best fit for my company and BRRRR strategy, I also read the book by David Greene title BRRRR.

I asked him about his van to see if it would even fit in the space, but I'm not sure if there's anything else I should be thinking about.

I think the rate for the triplex was ~ $150k with work needed (wasn't the most ideal setup/condition , and the duplex was ~ $120k with the same conditions). 

The ratios fit just fine.

That’s what I’d really like to know.And with me being a newbie I figured that the comps had to be very specific but I’m assuming it’s finding the most ideal comps in terms of square footage and bedrooms?

It fits the 1% rule that some people use. 

This will make it easier for you to research just for Markets that focus on your personal strategy.Once you have a market ( with low taxes, high rental demand, landlord-friendly laws... a few things I would def look for in any market as an investor ) that fits your personal strategy.

Definitely don't act on the info you get from BiggerPockets without reading the ordinances yourself, and ideally spending an hour with a local landlord law attorney to talk through options.

Once you find a market that best fits your startegy then start looking into the market.
