With many people's help I recently made my first buy-and-hold purchase of a duplex in Fort Wayne, as an OOS investor! 

I have credit in the high 700s, I have over 10 units, have done several refinances and buy and holds.  

They're actually hosting occasional "come and see" type events where you can go out there BEFORE you buy (and even afterwards!). 

We have physician clients that work in the suburbs that need to buy something close to their hospital in the case of bad weather or they need to be close to the hospital.

Questions: Is this just what to expect from buying rentals, and (regardless of expectations), what can/should I do?

I am focused on those out there who are raising $50M+ to buy institutional level assets but do so by managing  500+ separate investor relationships.  

I would love to buy an existing one first to get the experience, but am also open to developing from scratch.

Hey @Yolanda Martinez - Flipping houses is a great way to get some positive cashflow quickly but it can be stressful and a lot of work making all ends of the process meet.Usually the end goal for investors is to eventually have enough capital to buy and hold properties to rent that way you see cash flow coming in monthly.If you have any questions on the rental market, please feel free to reach out.
