how to buy rental properties out of your
[2]
state that's today's video let's dive in
[8]
hey there I'm Clayton Morris the
[10]
president and founder of Morris invest
[12]
I'm a long time real estate investor and
[14]
today we're going to talk about buying
[16]
rental properties out of state out of
[18]
your own backyard that's frankly how I
[21]
buy all of my properties and that's what
[22]
my team does at Morris invest so I don't
[25]
buy any properties in my backyard which
[27]
is New Jersey there's no way property
[29]
taxes are ridiculously expensive
[31]
properties are ridiculously expensive
[33]
and therefore my ROI would be in the
[35]
toilet so should you buy rental
[38]
properties across state lines here's how
[41]
to do it number one you can't do it
[43]
alone
[44]
so if you're going to buy rental
[45]
properties across state lines you need a
[47]
team you need partners in order to make
[50]
this happen you could of course use a
[52]
turnkey rental company like ours that's
[55]
one of one option and I'm not selling
[57]
you want to but you could absolutely do
[58]
that
[58]
the other option though is to do it
[60]
yourself and to find properties yourself
[63]
rehab them yourself and build that team
[65]
but number one you cannot do it alone if
[68]
you think you're going to do it all by
[69]
yourself
[70]
you're lying to yourself you've got to
[72]
surround yourself with people that can
[73]
help you that property management team
[76]
contractors your insurance folks your
[79]
title company all of those people are
[81]
going to have to help you at some point
[83]
so just remember you can't do it alone
[85]
my second tip for buying across state
[88]
lines please make sure that you just
[91]
fall in love with ROI and you don't fall
[93]
in love with real estate the common
[96]
theme that I see among new investors
[98]
they fall in love with a cute little
[99]
bungalow the little cute little pictures
[102]
that they see online remember all real
[104]
estates the same four walls in a roof
[106]
fall in love with the numbers the return
[109]
that you're going to get on your
[110]
investment and not the fact that it has
[111]
adorable front little front porch and
[114]
green paint don't do it don't be allured
[117]
by that especially when you have twenty
[119]
properties you're not going to care that
[120]
property number one with an adorable
[123]
little bungalow so fall in love with ROI
[125]
your return on investment and your
[127]
numbers not real estate step three what
[130]
legal entity are you going to be
[132]
acquiring these
[133]
properties in and where are you going to
[135]
set up this legal entity like an LLC or
[138]
an S corp personally for us we have
[141]
LLC's set up in two different states
[143]
where we own our rental properties now
[145]
I'm not an accountant or a lawyer so
[147]
seek the counsel of your own accountants
[148]
and lawyers on this but I will say that
[150]
our our accountants have advised us to
[153]
set up LLC's in the states where we own
[155]
our properties that way the LLC owns it
[159]
and you're protecting yourself from you
[162]
know being sued and then your other
[164]
assets your personal assets are then
[166]
protected against from the LLC very very
[170]
important to know what type of a legal
[172]
entity you're going to set up and where
[174]
you're going to set it up it's very easy
[176]
to do also just by going to the States
[178]
Department of State website so if you're
[180]
buying them for instance in Michigan you
[182]
would go to you know state Michigan gov
[185]
and click on the start new business tab
[187]
and you can be up and running in moments
[189]
it's usually like a hundred dollars to
[190]
set up an LLC number for property
[193]
management if you're going to buy out of
[195]
state don't think that you're going to
[196]
manage that property by yourself okay
[199]
you're going to need a property
[201]
management team that's going to be able
[202]
to be there on the ground deal with the
[204]
Board of Health when they decide to
[206]
drive by and send a violation letter
[208]
they can handle it they can get right
[209]
out to the property make sure that the
[211]
branches are removed from the gutter
[212]
make sure that the debris and trash is
[214]
out of the yard whatever it is but you
[216]
need a great property management team
[218]
that can manage your property from afar
[220]
you do not want to try to do it you do
[222]
not want to try to receive phone calls
[223]
at 2:00 in the morning from an angry
[225]
tenants you are an absentee landlord
[227]
don't do it don't make that mistake
[229]
number five this might be the most
[232]
important tip do some research but not
[235]
too much research I see analysis
[239]
paralysis all the time for people who
[241]
rely on the internet now look let's be
[243]
honest you're out of state so you're
[245]
going to spend a lot more time on the
[247]
internet doing research about the
[248]
properties and areas and neighborhoods
[250]
that you're going to buy and that's fine
[251]
but remember that the internet can only
[253]
get you so far
[254]
and at some point you just got to take
[256]
action get a good idea of your returns
[259]
make sure you know your ROI make sure
[261]
you've got a great property management
[263]
team and don't spend too much time
[266]
hanging out
[266]
internet forums and reading crime data
[269]
websites which are mostly inaccurate to
[271]
begin with so spend a little time doing
[274]
your research but don't let it be
[275]
debilitating and stop you from taking
[278]
action it's really really important step
[280]
six in my process of buying out of state
[283]
get in inspection this is incredibly
[286]
important so you're buying a property
[288]
maybe it's already rented or maybe it
[291]
doesn't need any work so to speak get an
[293]
inspection on the property now chances
[296]
are if you're working with a great team
[297]
they're going to go through line by line
[299]
on that inspection and try to square any
[301]
inaccuracies or problems with the
[303]
property inspectors are paid to nitpick
[306]
so they're going to find anything
[308]
they're going to find tons of stuff I
[309]
mean that's what they do so I love
[312]
inspectors but they're going to find
[313]
stuff that's what they do some of it may
[315]
be totally irrelevant right - turning
[317]
into a great rental property but some of
[319]
it might be important and therefore you
[321]
can square that with your contractors
[323]
making sure that they are fixing this
[325]
taking care of that but getting a
[327]
inspection you know let the realtor know
[329]
if you're working with a realtor you
[331]
want to get an inspection on the
[332]
property you're going to spend $500
[334]
whatever it is but then you have all of
[337]
that documentation there you can hire a
[339]
contractor to come in maybe it's going
[341]
to cost you ten fifteen twenty thousand
[342]
dollars to rehab the property but now
[344]
you know all of the things that you want
[346]
to fix in the property and you can hand
[348]
that right over to your contractor to
[350]
get it up and running and get it fixed I
[352]
mean at Morris invest we work with you
[355]
know investor excuse me inspectors all
[357]
the time who once you know do an
[360]
inspection we'll go through line by line
[361]
and match it up with what we're doing on
[363]
the rehab and make sure that it all
[365]
lines up or if something's missing one
[367]
way or the other then we'll address it
[369]
with with our industrial that way so
[371]
inspections very important go through
[374]
them pay for it get it done get an
[377]
inspection especially if you're buying
[378]
across state lines and step 7 in my
[381]
process is to relax okay if you are
[384]
buying rental property for positive cash
[386]
flow and creating more legacy wealth in
[389]
your life that's the whole point so sit
[392]
back and let those rent checks start to
[393]
come in and don't nitpick over every
[395]
little thing and don't be annoying
[398]
you're going to cause yourself way more
[400]
stir
[400]
less than you need to if you and your
[402]
wife sat down your wife and husband sat
[404]
down your plan was to acquire 20 rental
[407]
properties and create a certain amount
[408]
of cash flow and that cash flow is
[410]
starting to come in and your own
[412]
property 3 in property for now and you
[414]
start to see that cash flow coming in
[415]
every month like clockwork
[417]
relax enjoy it go take that vacation if
[421]
you wanted to take but that's the whole
[422]
point of creating cash flow is to enjoy
[425]
it to create that life that you want to
[427]
create that financial freedom right so
