I invest locally and in a judicial state, which is more difficult to foreclose. 

Certainly there are a lot more hoops to jump through disclosure wise and HR generally frowns on it fin some cases.Brokers at entrepreneurial shops (usually a local company that is privately owned or by a few partners) typically buy deals themselves a lot more.

As a local investor and agent here in Columbus, let me know if you have any questions or want to connect!

Still looking for someone that is available (ideally local or near to downtown Suffolk) for small jobs and such, that can take care of things that I cannot attend to. 

Hire an attorney and call the local DA.

Or is it 10am in both places local time?

We’ll only lend after we’ve met and gotten to know you just a little, you must be a full-time house flipper, and you must have a good deal; for which we provide specific criteria.Obviously, this only works locally, and it would be impractical if we had to deploy many tens of millions out of a fund.

Just ensure that your increases comply with local rental laws and regulations. 

Yes this strategy works great especially if the numbers don't work locally.

To get a good rental income, be sure to check who you rent to very well, write a clear rental contract, take a security deposit, make a smooth way to get rent, keep the house in good shape, think about getting landlord insurance, keep talking to your renters, and follow local rules strictly.
