Where I’m Focusing: Ohio (Dayton and Cincinnati) — I already have trusted partners for renovation and construction.Investment Strategies: I’m interested in fix-and-flip and BRRRR.Open to Networking: Real estate agents, investors, contractors, and anyone passionate about real estate.My Goal: To learn from experienced investors, share ideas, and build a scalable real estate business.Looking forward to connecting and learning from this great community! 

Right now, you have a property with a great equity position, solid cash flow, and cheap debt (interest rate is low). 

It's a great returning property. 

You'll likely want someone that can handle A to Z with marketing, pricing, cleaning, maintanence, decor, websites, reviews etc.

I take a picture of their driver's license.I ask for phone numbers that accept texts and any alternate land or business phone numbers.I ask for the names and birth dates of anyone under 18, and ask if there are any service / emotional support animals, together with their names and breeds.I also ask for personal references, previous landlord contact info (and length of time there), employer contact info (and how long there, together with earnings), as well as the name and contact information for their manager / boss.

My name and my daughter’s name(s) are also in title and the loan.I have really good equity in both properties (six figure) with great interest rates.At some point my daughters and their husbands will move out to upgrade to something bigger.I want to turn these properties into investment properties after my daughters move out:  thinking the best way is to convert in my name only.Also considering leveraging the equity in the properties to help buy new homes/townhomes for my daughters when they are ready as well.Wondering what the best strategies would be for me to expand property portfolio, minimize tax impact , create more passive income while continuing to help my family grow.I appreciate any advice! 

Hi Andy, how are you, good to meet you, For starters, I work with Steve Wolterman and in the event you need a great qualified intermediary, I would highly recommend his services. 

If I were starting over as an out-of-state investor, I’d focus on building a strong network from day one—especially a great agent, property manager, and contractor.

Builder's Risk and General Liability should be a great starting point.

How to Invest in Real Estate and The Book on Real Estate Investing are a couple great books published by bigger pockets. congrats on taking the first step.
