I’m just beginning the process of considering OOS properties so any guidance is greatly appreciated! 

To lead this process of decision-making, formulate distinct preconditions for investing, among them cash flows, expected returns, tolerance of risks and investment timelines.Good luck!

Then in 6 months when you can use a new appraisal do a cash out refinance on the New ARV and pull out Max LTV to start the process all over again.

You can do that in Lansing.To Your Success!

My brother-in-law has been financially successful in real estate, but to avoid family issues, my wife and I have resolved to be self-sufficient.

They should be involved in the selection of the investment property and giving input on how to maximize the return on investment.Finally, I would recommend you consider starting with at least a duplex if you can, so you hopefully always have a rent check coming in during a vacancy.To your success!

This.It's always been apart of the process.

As I dive deeper and deeper in to real estate, I appreciate the freedom it gives me, but also battle with complacency that comes with it as well, as I am now the one responsible for my success. 

I'm now in the process of acquiring my next property and rinse and repeat!

Hello,I'm not sure if my other post with questions was successfully published here.What if there is no security deposit, and there is no clause in the lease for smoking damages?
