@David Martin Jr I think all above have the right answers and directions. It really comes down to what make sense in your situation. Maybe you don’t want to dive right in, maybe you do, or maybe you want do something more in your comfort zone. But unless you start or dip your toes in, you won’t know how powerful real estate investing is! Rather buy out of state, being a investor or even live-in investor. You just need to get started and it will snow ball from there. Happy investing man!
