Thanks everyone for all of the advice and support. BP has proven to be a great resource, I have already met a handful of people through this site and hopefully it continues to be a viable networking tool as well as information source. I am also very interested in attending some investor meetings up here. I agree with you Jay that it isn't beneficial to be uneducated in any particular arena, but that the best probability for success is to hone your skills in a specific niche. Although, VT is such a small market that it could be be a good idea to be a bit for diverse if the deal is there. I really appreciate all of your responses and am happy to see that there is some life on here from fellow Vermonters.  

Wow! small world @Chris Kelly (although we are in VT). Thanks for all of the encouragement. I have noticed that Burlington is very competitive @Blair Knowles and I appreciate the advice. It sounds like we are starting out with a similar approach, hopefully everything works out with your second property. I have to say this forum has a wealth of information and seems to be a great networking tool, I'm surprised I didn't stumble across it sooner.

Hello everyone, 

I am very new to the real estate game. I'm currently 28 and bought my first property a year and a half ago which was a duplex. I spent the first year fixing it up and have been renting it out for the past 6 months. So far I have had a very good experience and now the wheels are turning as to how I can develop an investment strategy to start building an empire! Well, I guess I need to buy a second property first, which I have been back and forth on in terms of what route I should go (multifamily, single family, buy-fix-rent, turnkey, etc). I really enjoy the podcast, which is how I found this site. I am hoping some of the experience and insight from the members here can help point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.
