@Ali Boone I'm also looking for markets elsewhere to start my rental portfolio. I think CA is un-investable, or at least I have been searching without much success. Would appreciate your thoughts on where to look for
One thing about long distance investment that I'm a bit wary is how to build up a team I can trust (realtor, contractor, property management, etc.).

@James Golden This is a great wealth of information. I am looking into becoming a private lender myself. Have been lending to a close friend of mine for the past two years but want to be more serious in this. Would appreciate any pointers.

@Bob Malecki has a fund ( not sure if its accredited or not) but they are in the business of managing debt instruments.
So maybe you check into these two as some sort of alternativeto get some experience.
the BP is full of threads of beginner lenders asking for help after the fact..
its not super complicated but experience matters when it comes to lending.. its not like buying a rental home and sticking a tenant in it.. anyone can grasp those concepts.
Thanks!

use a lot of caution though as you start out.
Thanks! What kind of contract, risk assessment that I should do, mostly to protect myself from losing the funds? I'm being curious as well on the typical rate you would get being a private lender?
Post: Buy my first investment property

Hi,
I'm looking to buy my first investment property. Interested in TX, FL, or OH (actually any) that can generate incomes. Love to connect to everyone and learn as much as I can in the processes.
Any thoughts on the following:
1) Do you typically pick a good school district for your rental less income since your cost would be higher but you can get it back on appreciation?
2) More and more cities are restricting STR (I started to learn about all these acronyms and I hope I use the right one: STR: Short Term Rental? LOL) so I think I'll stick to long term rental. Is that a good strategy?
3) For rehab, how do you manage all of the repairs if you are not on site? Would the realtor/broker help with that or do you have to be present?
I see there's a good thread on how to generate 1K on 60K and I'd love that. I have a stable job with a good amount of funds sitting around doing nothing so I'm really excited to get started, however small. Looking forward to connect to everyone here.
Cheers,
Stanley

@Joel Owens could you help me understand a bit more on what you meant by buying notes or triple net leasing?
