So do your due diligence and make sure that the strategy you know works in California will work in other states as well.If you don't know the area, here's what you'll need:A local real estate agentA loan officer licensed to originate loans in that stateA local property manager (they should have repairmen, contractors, etc. contacts for you)It works best when you have local "boots on the ground" so to speak, meaning friends or family members who can keep an eye on the property for you... which your property manager can do for you, but for a fee.I would recommend reading BiggerPocket's book on long distance real estate investing for a ton of other tips as well: https://www.biggerpockets.com/store/long-distance-real-estate-investing-ultimateIf you have any questions about the Phoenix Metro Area market when you're considering which area to invest in, feel free to reach out and I'll try to get your questions answered or point you in the right direction!

I have a few questions surrounding rehab process for first time investors that I am sure will be helpful for a lot of individuals across the site!

I currently rent in San Diego and I pay my rent to a property management group, however, I am assigned a property manager (not on-site) that I can contact if I have questions.

You can contact them, but they’re not going to sell it to you....at some point they will put it on the mls or one of the REO auction sites.  

Can anyone give me tips to avoid physical altercations at my units geared towards low-income tenants? 

Are there any active investors in the North Georgia area currently on this site?

I always say the same thing: go to my site, if you see something you want email me an offer.

@Eric Patrick OdenThanks for the tip, though appreciation is just the icing on the cake, right?
