@Michelle MayfieldI am a real estate agent and investor in Houston, TX.Katy, Cypress, Spring, some parts of Houston, Conroe, Tomball, Pearland are great markets.These cities tend to command quality tenants, and they have great schools.Get in touch with a local agent or investor and shorten your learning curve and save you a lot of headaches as they tend to understand the market better.All the best!

Before diving into LLCs, HOAs, Insurance, and Home Prices.I'm not sure if you have been pre-approved but I would highly recommend that you speak with a local lender, I happen to know a few in the area.

Purchased my current SFH with a 5% owner-occupant loan held privately by my local bank.

I would hope to get financial statements on a monthly basisWhat's the advantage of a local bookkeeper vs virtual? 

John, you'll probably have more luck in searching LOCALLY, on sites like NextDoor or other smaller localized sites. 

If needed, seek advice from experienced BRRR investors and consult a local real estate attorney for tailored guidance.

Tell me, how much does it cost to place an ad in a local Pennysaver, and post it on MLS?

Account ClosedIt's a local game for example, in my market list lower and sell higher is very common especially in the higher end market. 

i'm in hopedale MA. i use rentredi for tenant payments. no complaints, simple, i like it. a BANK that also offers rent collection seems over the top to me. i'd rather keep using my small local bank. i also don't keep security deposits because the laws in MA re: how they can be used are so insane that i'd rather just not deal with it. 

Ashford has some of the strongest Airbnb occupancy rates in the state, and lower average purchase prices than many other mountain markets, although prices are going up as this quiet town gains more local and national awareness.Packwood is a popular cabin / vacation town, close to one of the entrances to Mt Ranier & White Pass Ski Resort.
