Start doing your research and educating yourself about those markets.

then I may need better education.

Please understand I am just starting to make my own way through this journey myself, so I do not wish to come off as some of subject matter expert -- just gleaning what I can get from those that are doing it successfully. 

The best investors are ones who spend a great deal of time educating themselves.

@Menooa Zohrabian - Congrats on starting your REI journey!

ABC Management may have 30 years experience, proven systems, contractor relationships, and other services you can't begin to provide.If you jump into property management with zero education and experience, there is a high probability you will fail and you will give the profession a bad name at the same time.

Just starting out on my real estate journey and here to learn as much as I can!

@Odie Ayaga I appreciate what you’ve shared and will work on digging a little more for some educational pieces.

I'm running numbers on a $65k offer (no clue whether they would even take it, but again, this is for my education more than anything).

The main item is sure up your refinance monies with a bank based on loan amounts, your qualifications & etc.Depending on the amount of rehab depends on your power team above.Everyone gets checked out.Would suggest attending some reliable investment groups with good educational subjects not ones selling there packages.Diversified Investors Group and HAPCO are the most reliable in Philadelphia to attend.Let me know if you have any questions.RegardsJoe
