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

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. 

There is obviously a formal lease, and we also supplement with a room mate agreement which outlines the more specific things like overnight guests and expectations in dispute resolutions/ cleaning/ care for the home and appliances, etc.I haven't received one formal "LL request" email yet, other than a formal 30 day notice in the event of a move out, which is usually after they've come talked to me in person about it to begin with. if there's an issue, it tends to be pretty limited to "hey, we have this shower rod falling off"... which im usually here to deal with (and tbh most of the time they like to fix it up with me), and it doesnt need to turn into a big thing. as for keys, i have the house on a yale smart lock, so 'handing over keys' is just official move out, walkthrough of the room for damages, and then I can delete their access code and access to the smart home systems without having to re-key the house. 

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.

Other strategies such as fix and flip or house hacking don't really appeal to me as constantly seeking out opportunities in hopes of generating large amounts of cash is not a part of my nature.Also, your local REIA will be an awesome resource for you.

Idk, i can buy 2 condos in miami for that..I talked w locals, the problem is the infrastructure.

Quote from @Daniel Rabinov: Hello,So I am ready to get going on flipping or BRRRR.The thing is, my local market (Los Angeles) is not a great place to start as entry points are really high for beginners and it's very hard to get good deals here.

To complete my due diligence, I want to get an inspection-does anyone local have a recommendation for a good investment property inspector?

I would also recommend that you find your local REIA and also attend as many meet ups that revolve around real estate investing and network to build your buyers list and make connections for down the road.Best of luck
