Once you've got people in place to be your eyes and ears, it's no big deal (though I do like going up there every couple of weeks and putzing around and checking on things).I'm under contract for a second property that's out of state; I'll skip the property manager on that one, and train the housekeeper to let me know if anything is damaged/missing after a guest's stay.

A&E are easier to find, you will need that drawing anyway, and the contractor won't charge you leg work on running around pulling the permit.

I am a born entrepreneur and am currently blessed with 2 small businesses, but want to start learning and investing in real estate.I am here to learn and am all ears.

My focus is Multi-Family until and Trailer Parks, If anyone has suggestions on books, or would like to pass on knowledge, i'm all ears.

Hello All,I'm a noob in this industry, so all I really have to share is that I have my eyes completely peeled and my ears entirely open.

I am green behind the ears, and the only way I will grow is to get out and start doing it.

If you find a good one, they are basically your eyes and ears for your properties and your market.

If your place is nicer or cheaper than other rentals, some students might still spring for a 1 year lease even if they only plan to live there during the school year.With students, you could end up with more wear and tear, more roommate situations, more noise, more parties, more needing co-signors, and also a much wider prospective tenant pool.

Provided you were able to tune out the noise, it was great, because it thinned the number of participants and you could get better deals.

It's almost a fill-in the blank (of course the blank is between my ears).
