Some will still do a little residential on the side for family and friends or commercial clients that also need to sell a house or two.

Can anyone recommend a investor friendly realtor and/or management company in that area?

My friends 1100 or so SF house with a hip and detached 2 car garage was $11-12,000...

I posted this because I know some people are in a market that isn't very investment friendly, and are looking other places to put their money.

Just be sure you are working with an investor-friendly lender and everything will be easier.

They may lie on their application, or it could come through a boyfriend/girlfriend/friend that moves in afterward.

Instead find some friends or family members who have retirement funds sitting in money market account, teach them about self-directed IRA and offer them 6% interest secured by real property, that would be win-win!

I’ve been hearing about self directed IRAs (Roth/Traditional) and 401ks being used to fund deals frequently.

I still have friends in college and my girl friend still has two more years of schooling for her master's degree which makes finding tenants fairly easy.
