I have worked with numerous property managers and now have partnered with a turnkey provider allowing me to speak to investors, like yourself, all over the world.

A few of the websites that I use are; https://factfinder.census.gov/faces/nav/jsf/pages/...www.bls.govwww.city-data.comThere are numerous posts here on BP that provide lists of cities that are considered some of the top cities for rental real estate investing.In fact there was a post that was started by Tom Ott that provides some of these details.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/657...Ultimately, when looking for out of state investments you'll want to look for cash flow and good IRR. 

Given that we can field only such a low amount to purchase properties that we want to buy and hold to produce a stream of income, we are having trouble finding (as one lending company called it) the "unicorn" of funders, someone who would be willing to finance up to 100% in some deal created for this purpose.The properties I am looking at range from 65k to 109k, so we've been looking for anywhere between 70k for 1 property to 440k for 5 properties.

I have been in the REI world since 2016-1 single family, 2 duplexes...me quitting my 9-5, I’d like to get my foot in the door with a career revolved/related to real estate, as I have not yet passed the exam I want to still pursue some type of career in this field until I succeed at the exam.

To dive right into It here’s my current game plan and would like to ask for y’all’s opinion and advice on my current situation as I am here to learn from all of y’all that are super successful and knowledgeable in this area of field and are like minded as I am.

I will also be consulting with an expert in the field.
