I do have a good radar for judging people I worked as a nurse in Prisons including working  Additionally, I self manage a property in Arizona out of state.I do realize I need to build my team for out-of-state investing but I am not at that point yet first I need to start analyzing the area.Thank you!!!

We are having a lot more success finding midterm rental clients on Airbnb and Zillow, including nurses. 5 out of our past 7 rentals on Airbnb have been nurses. 

One was a "steal" for the price: came with 3 TVs (including an 82") and an 8-camera security system.

Wholesaling, when done legitimately,  is perfectly fine with many brokers including mine. 

Unless you specialize and invest a lot of experience and knowledge into STNLs, I think the risks are just too highly concentrated to dabble in that space.

This includes ensuring the property is safe, habitable, and in good repair.

check out this spec home we are doing in newark. we got the land for 10k and 110k build cost. should do fine. we listed it one day and have calls already. don't be afraid to take the risk https://www.redfin.com/OH/Newark/147-S-3rd-St-43055/home/773...

A duplex/multifamily could work but the tenant friendly laws in the bay area have me concerned that an extended eviction process would kill any reserves and risk losing the property.  

Like other asset classes, the home appreciation has been a savior for poorly managed NPL's because your downside risk was being protected.

First, there are so many different strategies (each with their own different risk/reward) that there is no one single answer.
