(not trying to be a jerk, just pointing out what should be obvious)Thanks Michael,  yeah I approved just some painting same day but I think my problem lies in they aren't even diagnosing the potential work until tenant leaves leaving a gap in time. 

I'm planning on getting into a couple flips and BRRR opportunities over the next year and am considering days on market, median sale price, rent potential, and landlord friendliness.

If you have the capability to answer calls at any time of the day potentially and do not mind catering to guests, managing cleaners, and contacting contractors, self management is a fine option. 

Considering the high property taxes unfriendly laws towards landlords , inventory, and prices here, I’m pondering out-of-state investments for potentially better cash flow.

Hello Teck,The numbers could potentially work depending largely on your expenses to demolish and construct.

Investing out of state can pose challenges such as unfamiliarity with local markets, potential difficulty in property management, and variations in regulations.

It's just that this seemed like potentially a way to have the best of both worlds; i.e., get some experience as landlords while also moving to our preferred environment.I feel like I'm opening myself up to a slew of "you're crazy, pal" responses, but if so, better to find out now than later!

Are you worried about any potential ethics complaints or lawsuits against you as an agent, being involved in this type of transaction?

I'm now looking to expand my portfolio using the BRRRR strategy and would greatly appreciate your insights.I'm particularly interested in learning about effective methods for identifying potential BRRRR deals.
