The other very old school option is to just knock on doors, my first apartment appraisal thats how I collected rental data on competing complexes.

I've had my ear against the door of REI for a few years now and I'm finally ready (within the next 12 months or so) to dive in.

I spent 25 years in commercial construction and you learn something new everyday and its a very difficult business to be in. 

Refinance in a couple of years pay him off and you ask him if he wants to fund the next down payment.

For example, if I have an LLC for my own property management company and would like to work under a brokerage is there any reason my LLC couldn’t be set up as a subsidiary under the brokerage and then break off in a few years. 

It'll probably be a couple more years because I keep going to other more lucrative short term projects, but I'll get there eventually. 

Personally not a fan of out of state BRRRR.I think it's a recipe for disaster and having been in the game for 10+ years, I've seen the disaster first hand as I bought hundreds of deals from disgruntled out of state investors who thought they can do it themselves.My property management company has doubled in 12 months also due to out of state investors getting caught with a poor property manager when trying to do it themselves from afar so they come to us for help 🤷‍♂️I'm seeing many investors buying D class crap on the MLS for too much and that needs work.They end up being into the property for 30% more than they would be that if they just bought turnkey.A true turnkey provider will find the cheapest/best deals through a variety of acquisition methods, renovate well and sell for fair market value (And manage in-house).If things go South, they are solely to blame and the penny drops with them.But with DIY, who is to blame?

Three years ago I bought my first big rehab project for $81k, and got a 10 yr. construction loan from a local bank to rehab it. 

I used him for my 1031 last year.

I recommend looking into places like Cudell, Old Brooklyn, Brooklyn Centre, Jefferson and West Boulevard.
