This can be especially appealing for those who enjoy traveling or seeking occasional getaways.

So I am less concerned with that one at least for the time.I enjoy researching many things and solving complicated problems, but figuring this out has not been one of them.

I’ve been coaching new investors for a while, and I always enjoy hearing about what brings people to real estate.

Outside of real estate, I enjoy Working out, training my German shepherd, and traveling with my family.

I enjoy college football, video games, and lifting weights. 

That may be a little too aggressive but I do enjoy landlord friendly states as opposed to the tenant friendly ones.

I don't know, I would keep it, and when you go to MTR you will make more. if you buy something now, your mortgage rate will be higher, get a property manager , saves you the headache, worth the money and enjoy your cash flow.

I realize you're starting out so it may be a while before the lucrative legal projects appear but if you enjoy your field they will because you will get very good at it. 

The way that I have done this in Costa Rica has been to bring in several partners on a high end luxury property who would like to own a part of a property that they can use and enjoy but that they don’t have to manage by themselves.Each of the properties that I own are at a million or higher or will be soon. 

Perhaps if your partner was a general contractor or handyman type there may be some merit there to reduce costs / increase profitability.If your partner enjoys deal sourcing, a better move might be for him to become an agent - so he could legally collect commissions from finding deals and managing properties for multiple people.
