Long-Distance Real Estate Investing: How to Buy, Rehab, and Manage Out-of-State Rental Properties by @David GreeneAlthough this book is titled 'Long-Distance Real Estate Investing', the strategies and systems David Greene explains in this book can and should be used by any new real estate investor, regardless of if they plan on investing local or out of state.Like Brandon Turner, David Greene contributes a massive amount of incredible content to BP and is the current co-host of the BP podcast.David's book is one of the most detailed and well-thought out real estate investing books I have read.

I got a tape of a fund that bought 50 million worth of SFRs in city of Portland and now they want to sell them.. few of my contacts are like NO way not with rent control is would be massive undertaing to take over all those SFRs and try to figure out how to manage the rent control.. plus to evict a no cause tenant cost you 4k.. 

The way I get help from agents is that they call me when they go to list a house but it's too trashed for the retail market.

The best experience I ever had in life was working in retail sales for two years.

@Anthony CannizzaroGlad to hear you are taking massive action to change your situation.

Analyze 100 properties in areas that you know, choose a few you feel good about and then make offers based on cap rate and cash on cash returns generated offer amounts.The other option is to build a 720-800 credit score over time while waiting for the market to come down after this trade war raises the prices of everything causing a slide in consumer discretionary income which could lead to slowing of our retail economy which may result in lower real estate prices.A bonus option would be to start an entity i.e.

You're basically buying retail.

Investing in coastal So Cal is about value plays and appreciation.After the local factor there is the number of ways to make money in RE: flipping, buy and hold SFR, buy and hold residential multi- family (2-4 units), buy and hold commercial multifamily (5+ units), buy n hold retail, notes, value plays, wholesaling, new development, etc. 

I would like to eventually be able to retire off of rentals we have a ton on money coming in that is all savable as of now due to some lucky cercumstances so I just want the first property we live in to be paid off that way worst case senerio me and my sweetheart can still keep this pace of saving up. really just trying to build a really solid rock if seen some really nice duplexes past 78th in west allis for like 150k.If we end up buying somthing at that price for times sake we probably will just put a massive down payment on it like 100k or somthing.The other think we are thinking of doing is buying a condo cash in German town or tosa then when we save up enough from living frugally sell it use the combined cash to buy a duplex in shore wood or tosa.

If you can define clear daily action steps that will lead to you accomplishing your goal it will make a massive difference in moving you towards your goals.
