Also, I really have been utilizing all the materials this site has to offer but there’s so much I’m not sure when I’ll get through it all!

I've had great success working with out of state investors such as yourself utilizing the BRRRR method here in Memphis. 

To know a little bit more about real estate, I signed up on the course to become a real estate agent since I believed that one should start from knowing what the customers in the area want.

@Dennis Solari You are going to have to run the numbers on any property you might be interested in.Then you need to look Vrbo and Airbnb and see what properties are renting for and how often.Put all this in a spreadsheet and add in utilities, furnishing, consumables, cleaning, PM (unless doing this yourself), yard maintenance, house maintenance, tax and insurance and see how the numbers shake out.

What CRM program do you use and love for your real estate business? I sell new homes and have a property management business and need to implement a better system. My colleagues and I have used Top Producer but it has...

Thanks to all of you ...I currently use a rental company but was curious as to what of those who do their own rental and hassle with cleaning and maintenance between customer stays did.I pay 20% and my HOA is $750/ month..making it hard to make a profit

Want to up my game.Started searching college towns, commuter towns outside of Boston (Manchester,NH , Providence, New Haven) trying not to be fearful of leaving my comfort zone ( Boston) which is highly priced as you know.Well, I found I very quite town in NH , nothing special about it , no big business, no huge draw but the population is holding its own, low crime...just a quaint town.This particular property is 8 unit with 6 add'l storage units & 2 garages ( those aren't bringing in revenue as of yet, not utilized) All are in good shape, not worn or old. 

If the custom in your area is for only nine month leases, leaving you to scramble for short term tenants during the summer, it will be harder.
