Talk to a lender, learn about the local rent market, and ask a money expert for help.

Find an investor-friendly real estate agent who can actually help you because they know the local market.

Again not a lawyer but you should be cautious when trimming a tree even if it overhangs your property as the tree it is not your property and you are damaging it by cutting.If tree falls it would be claim against your insurance not theirs in general.Check with local zoning official as they might be able to point you right direction or help you out.

Take into account elements like total affordability, policies that favor landlords, and property taxes.Make contact with real estate agents and investors in the target market locally.

The real trick is that tax investing is really local to your market. 

Hi Daisy, nice to meet you. 

I had previously used LendingHome as my HML but they stopped lending in Illinois, I asked a local investor @Mark Ainley who referred me to the Eric Workman the VP of lending for Renovo Financial, they are local (Chicago area), met with him and felt we hit it off well.

Would be grateful if any locals or investors in the area could share some pointers. 

Is there someone you can report her to at the local housing office?

I’m local in SA and have midterm rentals here on the NW side
