@Erin Spradlin you actually run into problems with this in some places because they won't let out of state residents manage their own properties.

You may want to start at a higher asking price than you are willing to accept.3)  As was mentioned, there are a lot of places to get contracts.  4)  A title company is fine in Florida.5)  The inspection contingency is also the "right to cancel" in our state approved contracts. 

How is the market in Albany GA? 

I do have a good radar for judging people I worked as a nurse in Prisons including working  Additionally, I self manage a property in Arizona out of state.I do realize I need to build my team for out-of-state investing but I am not at that point yet first I need to start analyzing the area.Thank you!!!

It is a beautiful and underrated state, but it definitely has its room for improvement.

Hello all,I have a 50% interest in 3 properties in 3 different states and am trying to buy out my partner in each property. #1 - Charleston, SC area - Worth: ~800k / Balance on mortgage: $230k / Excellent rental history 5y+ @ $3,300/month / Divorce buyout #2 - Syracuse NY area - Worth: ~600k / Balance on mortgage: $185k / No rental history (just inherited with brother) but in a desirable area so local realtors say it will rent easily in the $2,000-$2,500 range / Brother is partner#3 - Kansas City, MO - Worth: ~200k / Balance on mortgage: $100k / Excellent rental history 4y+ @ $1,200/month / Divorce buyout First choice is to pay off partners in a clean lump sum now (one wants to buy ASAP in another market, the other wants to build ASAP), but I'm open to brainstorming for options.I live in Portland OR and rent my primary address. 

Usually there are state/city grants available. 

You'll need to schedule an inspection with the local public housing authority (PHA) to verify compliance.Follow fair housing laws: As with any rental, you must follow all federal, state, and local fair housing laws.

I don't care what state it's in...I just want to know where to get it. 

Glad to be here, Hey @Rylee Whitters, congrats on taking the first steps.Have you thought about out of state investing?
