You can find loads of online and in-person real estate events where you can meet many wholesalers!

@Rhia MckissicMost states require a lease to identify the owner of a leased property, whether a person, trust, LLC, IRA, etc.Landlord = Lord of the Land = Owner per deedAgent = someone legally representing the ownerProperty Manager = Agent

But painting the exterior of a house for $500 is very reasonable, at least around here for any person of reasonable skill to paint a house.  

I personally specialize on the financing side of the house and help people get from where they are to where they want to be in regards to lending and financing these deals! 

Thanks so much, have already learned a lot from this site but looking to get more personalized advice. 

To OP: My personal research has shown little with regards to value beyond time.

Hi everyone,I currently have an AmEx platinum for personal use for which the annual fee is $695.  

i used to live in the DC area and still own a property in Arlington.i know the numbers on paper look great in a place like Huntsville, but we see a lot of folks in the forums in markets like DC or CA, who buy a random property in AL or OH or KS, and then immediately struggle because they didn't vet it properly, or didn't realize it wasn't in as great a neighborhood as they thought, or even buy an OK property, but then make $32.50 a month in 'cash flow,' and are disappointed in their return.so, i know you asked about huntsville, but i'd encourage you to think about picking a suburb or exurb of DC and really invest some time in it - maybe hagerstown or fredericksburg or winchester, or any place you're interested in within 2 hours with a lower price point than DC.

If the other person is helpful, I try and complete the request as quickly as I can.

Basically investing a person that buys a property that will hopefully reap returns.
