Hey Beethoven! I recommend reading “Long-Distance Real Estate Investing: How to Buy, Rehab, and Manage Out-of-State Rental Properties” - I found it to be very helpful when I got started investing 2.5 years ago.
Here is a summary of the book.
https://www.nateliason.com/notes/long-distance-real-estate-investing-david-greene
The book also mentions the importance of having a rockstar Realtor, contractor, lender, and property manager.
I invest locally in Columbus and Cleveland. I can send you a list of contacts in Ohio to help you build your team, property manager. Let me know how I can help!
Hey Ming, Thanks for chiming in. That is a great book indeed. I read it about a year ago. I have been looking into the Ohio market for a while now (Cleveland and Akron). I live in Houston, TX. I'd appreciate any property mgmt recommendations you may have. Getting things ready to make a move here soon.

Hi Angel,
Most of the small multi family in centrally located in Houston. Looks like you would prefer something in South to Southwest Houston.
Check zip codes 77021 and 77051 (Sunnyside area). This area does great with STR and MTR's because of its location close to the city and Med center. 6812 Winton St, 77021 may be a good fit for a light value add.
I'm a realtor, investor and developer in central Houston ( I build small multi family). Feel free to reach out with any specific questions.

Great info Chris. I'm looking into the whole developer game myself and trying to learn as much as possible about it. Any tips for breaking into that field? I'm a Realtor and Investor as well!

Yes sir! I've already picked up a couple and knocked them down. Managing Rental Properties by Heather and Brandon as well as Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner. Which of his books did you enjoy the most?
Thats awesome! I think the 2 I enjoyed most from him are: "How to Invest in Real Estate" and "The Book on Rental Property Investing". Just finished Pillars by Mr David Greene as well.
Great foundational advice on REI for sure. Any other books you highly recommend?
