I wanted to get thoughts on if anyone has had experience performing a refinance prior to renting a property while utilizing BRRRR? 

I understand that investing outside of my local area may require partnering with someone on the ground who has experience and knowledge of the specific market.Once again, thank you both for sharing your valuable perspectives and advice.

Again just my experience. 

Based on my personal experience, owners seems to evaluate two primary cost criteria when comparing PM's, the monthly fee and the placement / leasing fee.  

I have a question which I was asked and since I'm not a lawyer or have experience this maybe someone on BP has.                 

If your a CA investor and 1031'd your properties to buy out of state, would be interested in hearing your experiences. 

Make sure to reach out to one with Real Estate experience, as must of us work remotely with clients from multi-States.

My first investment will be a single family rental (acquiring a home from a family member, so not a large amount of money coming out of my pocket upfront).

In my experience, it's always been a coverage that came standard with the landlord policy. 

While this isn't exactly "real estate," I wanted to see if anyone else is listing motorhomes/RVs/campers for rent on sites like Outdoorsy, and what your experiences have been.
