When investing in an area out of state where the numbers leave room to delegate those task to professionals it's often even more hands off than an in state investment. 

A question I have is where can I network and meet real estate investors who are where I want to be? 

If you need referrals for any professionals in the San Diego area, feel free to send me a message.

It's more than just professional photography, cohesive and attractive design/decor and investing in amenities.

A noteworthy tax loophole, particularly beneficial for those yet to attain Real Estate Professional Status, offers a strategic approach to potentially offsetting OR EVEN ELIMINATING the impact of high job-related taxes.At its core, this tax loophole revolves around discerning between passive and non-passive activities within the realm of rentals.

If you want a more professional and mature platform look into Rentec Direct, Buildium, Appfolio(?)

I realize this is a general question, but my partners and I are just starting out and we'd love feedback/advice from more seasoned real estate investors/professionals to help us more forward. 

What worries me is this feeling that professional flippers find ways to accomplish the best looking finishes in the crappiest ways and cheapest materials possible.
