I wanted to introduce myself to the community, so that I can build new connections and mentorship opportunities as I seek to build up a real estate empire.

So rentability is a factor for investment as well has potential to build good equity.

Anyone familiar with the neighborhood who can give an out of state investor an honest answer?

The key is buying properties significantly below market value, keeping costs low through self-management and maintenance skills, and taking a long-term view to build wealth through forced appreciation and equity capture over time.

Your goal should be to break even or come close in the first year, then let inflation work in your favor for rental renewals and building equity.

Essentially I just want to remotely monitor the main water meter to detect when I have a leak in the building (so that I can fix it right away) and not have to find out on my bill at the end of the month.

comped the final product type and calculated build costs.

I am looking for cashflow  - no really flip and fix market .Looking for person/agent/team   who is expert in the market can guide in securing the first  two deal .I am open to consider the single family house and multifamily apartment building 

You don't want to inherit any issues from the township. 2) Get a copy of 2-3 months of utility bills for the building.3) Shop insurance quotes now.

I would recommend clicking on the LEARN tab above and begin building as many contacts as you can in your prospective market.
