I view this as a gambling puzzle.

Since you are looking at investing out of state- establish some relationships with realtors, investors, contractors,..... in the market you want to invest. 

You are already off the articles of incorporation since the Wyoming LLC is established first through a registered agent service.

Reafco is a well established brokerage in Columbus and has a ton of deals and resources to help you out!

You will learn so much faster working for an established company, you'll earn a decent paycheck, and you'll quickly discern if PM is the right path for you.

With the Raleigh area being such a hot market in recent years, I'm looking to find new or experienced investors or other agents to network with, discuss the latest news about the area, and establish some solid relationships with.

Establish relationships with brokers specializing in multi-family properties, send letters to property owners, and use online platforms like LoopNet, Crexi, and CoStar.

So that seems like a gamble to me at 52 years old.

Lastly, I switched to a LTR & because Kiavi said that they only refi on LTRs but I needed to establish that and just like that poof, a whole year gone. 

There is some industry in Albany, namely, Miller Brewing, Proctor & Gamble, and a small Marine base.
