From flooding in the Midwest to bomb cyclones on the East Coast, drought in California, the weakened Gulf Stream winds…. all were suggested as risks years ago.i can’t remember 100 mph Santa Ana wind speeds in the 80s, 90s, or 2000s.

I'd also suggest self-managing your first property to maximize cash flow and learn by doing for any future investments.

The “methodology” the guru presents either isn’t all that profitable, isn’t as simple to enact as he suggests, and or works only with certain limits as to economic climate, geographical area, etc.2.

I have thought about Fundrise (medium success when I invested there), Crowdstreet (I have not invested there but might consider), farmtoghether (20k invested there already) and groundfloor (bad experience so not looking to invest there).Any advice will be appreciated.There is no greater wealth than peace of mind - Buddha - If it's just a redeployment of capital issue into a different market, I would suggest either syndication, or (this is going to sound crazy) into cattle.

Good suggestion by @Drew Sygit to consider section 8 tenants for possible cashflow and lower vacancy. 

Please give your best tips/suggestions as I embark on this journey.Thanks,Vidit

The only thing I'd suggest is to raise your rents unless you think you're at the top of the market.

Any suggestions?

I’d suggest exploring a bridge loan that covers a portion of the purchase price along with 100% of the renovation costs.

I will suggest you plan to House Hack a Duplex or Triplex or Fourplex every year for the next 4 to 5 years and you will thank me later.Goodluck man and keep us posted on your progress!
