I'm Finally Taking The Leap Forward

[Account Closed]

After some inspiration and listening to the BiggerPockets Podcasts, I feel inspired to take the leap forward. I've come to a realization that I do not want to work a 9-5 job, making others rich and not having my own life until I'm 65 and retire, that is not the life for me.

I'm 23 and I've saved up a lot of money to start out my empire with so my risk tolerance would be on the higher side. I'm currently looking into buying rental properties out of state and start my empire from there, but I'm not sure where to begin. I'm looking into multiplex homes and I am able to purchase multiple properties at once with the liquid cash I have in hand, but I'm worried that the deals that I see on MLS are not "great deals" compared to what other people are getting.

I've done a lot of research into the markets I'm looking into and what type of property I want to put my money in.

The markets where I'm looking into would be Kentucky, Illinois, Idaho, etc.
