I'm pretty sure the vast majority of people find places through word of mouth or seeing a for rent sign. 

My ultimate goal, like many others I'm sure, would be to create a portfolio that is able to provide sufficient income to not need another job while being able to reinvest and grow equity and net worth.

I'd love to hear some thoughts from the group on one aspect of the recent tax benefits episode released 12/14/21.Given that the vast majority of my family's income is attached to a W2, I love learning about the tax benefits of RE investing.

I’m still hunting for an area where there is sufficient demand and TRH are allowed.  

And I would write in the reverse scenario too, that the owner is responsible for paying the mgmt company if the proceeds aren't sufficient to pay the rent (although if you set the rent correctly, this shouldn't happen). 

For the most part, the vast majority of software solutions offer the same values and services but I always like to ask:What's the most important feature to you?

The thicker the wear layer, the longer it will last before it requires replacement. 12 mil is sufficient for most applications.

Are you estimating that $60k will be sufficient for a complete rehab, or are you just updating bathrooms and a kitchen.

I keep telling myself if it makes money, it makes sense and there is no wrong answer as long as the numbers are sound and I've done sufficient homework.

Many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't truly take the time to understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That OOS property Class rankings are usually vastly different than the local market they live in.7) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.8) Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.9) Class B usually also okay, but needs more attention from owner and/or PMC10) Class C can be relatively successful with a great PMC (do NOT hire the cheapest!)
