Many know local dealers and I'd much rather buy from them whenever possible.

But I also feel that over the last several years, many groups are getting greedy and wanting to be paid to transact more than buy good deals.  

I live in Orange County and I have been looking into some out-of-state investments for single family up to triplex for a buy and hold to build my rental portfolio.

I have 50k in equity built up and am looking to buy my first rental property, most likely a single family house.

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) buy & hold investment.

Becoming a great time to buy. ;)

Great information here.

Specifically, I'm curious about how you find information on local regulations, how you automate the process, and how you make it fast and efficient.So far, my approach has been to call each municipal building to ask about their regulations on short term rentals.

I recommend buying a 2-4 unit property to house hack rather than buy an individual apartment (condo or townhome).

I would like to know how I can buy an investment in Baltimore, MD.
