@Anthony AngottiI'm not out of state, but am planning when the time comes to move.I vastly prefer A-class properties and PM's eat too much into the cost.

The house is beautiful but only 3 bed/1 bath (all upstairs), main floor has all original hardwood flooring (living room, sunroom, formal dining and eat in kitchen) and the unfinshed basement  has laundry, storage, and an emergency toilet (no walls surrounding it lol).

Plus I've heard PMI eats too much into the cashflow.

High end eating establishments are some of the Jack Ruby restaurants like Precinct or Jack Ruby's Steakhouse.  

But with one property it not worth your time same with a management co,  not to many company will want to do it or will charge so much that it eats into your profit. 

I eat my meals 1 bite at a time.

.** As a new agent - (write this now) your best client is YOURSELF - represent yourself - get out there and in the market - look at 20-50 buildings (houses, commercial, businesses with real estate, lots and land) - know more about your local market (and sub-markets) than anyone else in the area - you need to know the estimated value of properties in your marketing area - (if someone gives you a street name - you should be able, off the top of your head to know the value) be the most informed of zoning changes, tax sales, foreclosures, auctions, the county's master plan, study expired listings - talk to real investors (not those turkeys who just took a GET RICH REAL ESTATE COURSE.Buyers and Sellers are liars - they will waste your time, eat a hole in your wallet, run you around, make bad offers, call you at all times of the day and evening - they will be demanding - you don't need to baby sit with people who can't make a wise decision! 

You can do flips to give you cash for rentals.Good luckI definitely agree with this, nevertheless I feel rentals are somewhat slower in terms of building wealth due to the mortgage and other fees eating away into the positive monthly cash slow.

My initial thought thought on investment due to my current situation was just a condo unit or townhouse, but looking on MLS and the strata fees I find are just ridiculous sometime and I feel like these could eat up costs as well as defer any potential future buyers.
