I've been living in WA State for a year and have been learning my local market (I live about 45 min northwest of Tacoma on the Kitsap peninsula) while saving to buy my first property.The high home prices and high interest rates are making it challenging to find good deals.

@Hunter Jordan, if you have a well vetted lease written to conform to your state's laws then the answers are within.

I started off with a few house hacks before I did a BRRRR here in Columbus, Ohio Thank you for that, I have two properties that were turnkey in my local market.

I owned a local carting company 6k and the folks that knew them....my management co said that was a bad idea.

I agree on waiting for a bit to find some local meetups & learn from some investors in my market to see what has worked for them. appreciate it!

The process must also be continually improved as new technologies come online, laws change, bottlenecks are identified, etc.

Everyone here needs to understand that when a landlord refuses to keep their property repaired and is in violation of Local County Codes, it makes it tempting to find good rental property to move to, AND to report the property to Code Enforcement, which now I am planning on doing.

Are you using a local property management company?

We practice the BRRRR model of investing and are operating just south of Charlotte in SC.A great place to network and possibly find a good contractor may be local REIA meetups.

But first, call a Real Estate Attorney for a consult ($300) to make sure you don't go afoul of the law.
