Not going to lie, Dan really got me rethinking this plan...Currently researching multi-families in other markets now. 

@Derek Tuohy If you inherit the property as the sole owner, you'll receive a step-up in basis to the property's market value at the time of your mom's death, which would minimize capital gains taxes if you decide to sell.

Hey BP community I want to give my opinion of what out-of-state real estate investing looks like to me:Out-of-state real estate investing offers the chance to diversify your portfolio and tap into high-growth markets.

Tenant basically said they would agree to current market rate if landlord pays the new commission, or at a lower rate they would cover the commission.  

I've told clients not to sell before, and then a few years later we put it on the market.

I'm always on the lookout for new deals and strategies, and lately, I've been focusing on off-market groups for flips.

Instead of thinking everyone is n00bs, think of everyone as a potential partnership or source of marketing so that you can help them with the things you are great at, renovation, etc and they can find you the deal that you keep trying to find.

If so, try starting with the median list price in your target market. 

You've jumped into a very competitive market!
