I've heard about how helpful the forums are and wanted to try posting my situation on here for some tips and guidance.I'm just starting my investing journey and my friend informed me of a house in my area that is about to go to Foreclosure. 

As of right now, I wanted to see if there is any duplexes under $250k and to possibly Long Distance Invest for now prior to moving in. 

Hi All,New Member, Always wanted to invest or start to invest in a rental property, Hoping to learn from like mind individuals, Thank you all!

Unless you have a cloud on title for the investment property(subject) for the unpaid taxes. 

Especially nowadays, we're back to normal investing. 

Good luck investing!

I would be an actual owner of the property as well if I invest in it.

@Sharad BoniRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Holding the townhouse sounds more like a bad investment plan.Any advice is appreciated :)
