I know the podcasts and books speak about being in a deal with zero skin in the game, but that is an outlier situation not the norm. 

Seek out those who’ve been in the game for a while.

I also liked the quickbooks like record keeping, that was my favorite feature.

Starting it and developing your vision is one of my favorite parts (probably my favorite actually lol). 

In my opinion, TXTing takes out more from you then actually bringing in - It often feels like a constant game of cat and mouse with phone carriers.

My take: Gather intel on the area (neighborhoods, tenant demand, property management), have a game plan for your numbers (cash flow, maintenance reserves), and adapt as you go.

My favorite zip codes to recommend for investment opportunities in the Memphis area are 38114, 38111, 38104, 38117, 38109, 38128, 38127, 38116, 38115, 38118, 38119, 38112, 38122, 38141, & in Mississippi 38637, 38671, 38672, 38654.

Most landlords are willing to do cash for keys so if they don’t accept that, they’re trying to game the system.

My game plan is to buy & hold MFH to build my portfolio off appreciation due to cashflow home seems so hard for me in my market 

Learning from others is a game-changer.Think Long-TermEven if you can’t house hack yet, that’s okay.
