I am also investing out of state.The following is an example:Asking price: 135kComps: $185-210k Location: OH, 43123 Description: 3 bedroom 2 bath 1530 sq-ft and a full basement.

I don't know how anyone can do a full rehab out of State. 

I’m looking at executing on a 15 unit deal and using third party PM.My question for those who have done the same, how does the third party execute the various requirements such as leasing & maintenance and how much do you pay for those services?

Hey Enos, totally can relate with you being from an expensive real estate market - I moved to Columbus a few years ago (from Portland, Oregon which was super expensive) to become a full time real estate investor, and ever since, I've completed quite a lot of BRRRRs, flips, and own a successful rental portfolio here in Columbus Ohio.

Tenant rights versus landlord rights is always something a diligent investor has in mind when in investing.I love California, and I know lots here do too, but I just won't invest there when I can't take full control of my property.

Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: maybe make it like a Lenders license I have U have full fbi criminal and personal financial and credit report.. does not mean you have to be super star but just cant be bad.To get my GC in Cali, I had to do a full fingerprinting and state and federal background check.

If I was a landlord I would ask for two months deposit plus first months rent upfront to show your commitment, then rent to start 4 months from lease signature.  3% escalations a year and an option to renew for another 10 years assuming all rents were paid on time.  4 months puts the pressure on you to work full time to get the place where you need it to be. 

By the end of today you will have an inbox full of "gurus" offering you courses and mentorship on how you can build a multi-million dollar real estate portfolio without using any of your own money!

It isn't registered with USPS; can't be found on any online service like Google Maps or Amazon, and doesn't even have a mailbox to receive mail. 

You can always wire and not install or do something like a ring doorbell that you discontinue after rehab and they pick up the service or not if they want it.
