A few tips for getting started:Start with turnkey long-term rentals (LTRs):These properties are often already leased and cash-flowing, so you can generate income immediately.They require less hands-on management than flipping or short-term rentals, which is perfect if your schedule is busy.They’re a great way to learn the ropes without being overwhelmed.Focus on markets with strong cash flow:Out-of-state markets in the Midwest and Southeast tend to have lower purchase prices and higher rental yields compared to high-cost areas.This allows you to scale faster while keeping your risk manageable.Build a team early:Partner with a property manager, property source provider, and maybe a contractor for ongoing maintenance.Even if you’re investing remotely, a solid team makes everything easier and protects your time.Learn and grow gradually:Start with one property to get hands-on experience.Once comfortable, you can scale, consider small multi families, or explore STRs if that interests you later.Investing doesn’t have to be overwhelming - start small, use turnkey options to simplify cash flow, and build confidence along the way.Always happy to chat more about what's worked for other investors.
