My husband and I decided to get into real estate investing and pulled out 100k to start the journey.

Are you looking for tax breaks and using real estate to offset income? 

My real estate agent there says he isn’t concerned with the permit situation in Rome and he invests there himself and manages quite a few of them for other clients as well but I’m not as confident in the government there as he is. 

The real kick in the pants is that EVEN IF the doomsday scenario occurred, since the price point is so low the property would still cash flow as a SFR - but the underwriters don't want to hear that. 

Yes, property managers you can goggle and do your homework and interview to see who you want to professionally want to work with for all of your real estate needs.

Would love to hear the experiences of other people if having received any grant funding for acquiring and or rehabilitating real estate property, and how you were able to do that.Best

That's the job.Good news: once you gain more traction you can leverage a cold calling VA to help with the initial contact (the most time intensive part of the process), I run a call center for Real Estate so I know this can work.

I used Jake Maines, Real estate agent in the area.

I am just getting started in real estate investing and have not bought my first property yet.

Again, I am trying to practice and run some numbers on potential investments and would like help since I am just starting to learn the games of real estate and underwriting deals.
