@Klejdi Banka College Station has a lot to offer with a solid economy backed by Texas A&M, the largest university in the US (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_public_u...)But similar to @Shawn McCormick comment about Orlando, we dont see 1% deals very often.

Of course, you should have a local attorney look it over to make sure it's in compliance with the laws in your state/municipality. 

I would also highly encourage you to become active in your local real estate clubs if you are not already.

You should have a main account for each property and then most local banks will allow you to create sub-accounts where can store funds or separate them into those buckets as the rent comes in.

@Ather TaquiI am no attorney, but a consultation with one in your local market would be a great idea.However, Ill mention this.Keep everything separate.

I was hoping for a referral from a local investor who has had a similar need and worked with someone they were happy with.

Would the FL Land Trust be considered the local entity that can act in FL court (eviction, code enforcement, ...)?

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of your screen and you can search for other MEMBERS or LOCAL MEETUPS.

The economy was not doing so hot but has definitely warmed up since the Marcellus shale gas drilling boom started. 

The main monthly meeting is held in Raleigh and it would be a good group for you to get plugged into to get more local contacts and learn more.
