Remember to have local counsel for each state you are licensed in.

Partnering up with a local company would probably be the best.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or just dipping your toes in the water like me, I'm a firm believer that our collective strength lies in lifting each other up.Nestled in the serenity of Grass Valley, I'm eager to forge bonds with fellow locals and cultivate a network built on mutual support and collaboration.

Our local rental management company take 25% and we pay for all listings on VRBO/Homeaway/TripAdvisor/Flipkey, photos, videos, etc.

HELOCs especially. check with your local bank/ CU before exploring guys like Rocket.

Check out your local REIA's I know the Miami one has tax deed investors come through from time to time.
