Well Andrew I'm a wholesaler and if I had properties in your area you be the first one is call because I never leave a lead alone until they tell me to goto you know where, or the sell me their house.

Hey BP community I want to give my opinion of what out-of-state real estate investing looks like to me:Out-of-state real estate investing offers the chance to diversify your portfolio and tap into high-growth markets.

I've primarily worked with investors in this industry in off market acquisitions, now I'm ready to start the journey of becoming one myself:) Cheers to evolving as an investor.

Is it more to protect me against fair housing? 

I watched a video about house flipping, and he said to secure a property before a hard money and gap lender.

If you have a handle on the value of the house, can make an offer that protects you and adhere to the contingency deadlines like inspection and financing,  a buyer's agent does nothing but waste your time and cost you thousands.  

I still like SFRs after 39 houses.

How about marketing the property ?

Instead of thinking everyone is n00bs, think of everyone as a potential partnership or source of marketing so that you can help them with the things you are great at, renovation, etc and they can find you the deal that you keep trying to find.

No one is focused on D-Class which makes me think that no one has figured out the economics of building affordable housing.
