@John UnderwoodUnderstood, but do you think it should ever cross my mind in the future to dive into the STR realm so I can maximize tax-write offs (Passive losses offsetting active/earned income) from my Job later or just stick with the good, stable, LTR’s? 

(Always remember that)I’d recommend diving into some BP forums, work with other agents (some of them, like my team have GREAT Off Market Opportunities) for distressed properties — there are also plenty of investors here who can offer insights and tips on improving offer terms, timing, and strategies.Remember that building a strong network of agents and wholesalers in your target market could be a GAME-CHANGER, helping you get ahead of deals before they even hit the market.Keep us updated on your journey!!

Sounds like an awesome opportunity to learn the process first hand, which will help you self manage and act as your own contractor for future projects.I have 1 deep city lot on w Worley, and plan to buy the neighbor parcel.

I’m in a great spot financially and can’t wait to explore my options and dive in.

I would do a deep dive into the market and determine whether you think it will continue to appreciate. 

It’s awesome that you’re diving into the world of multi-family investing, and starting with The Multifamily Millionaire is a solid choice.

sounds ridiculous but a situation ive encountered multiple times. ask yourself how much extra work you want in your life, offsite landlords get put out of business regularly, I've seen it over and over again. consider your options and learn everything but diving in.

I'm currently on track to get my real estate license this month and am eager to dive into house flipping and real estate investing in the West Palm Beach area. 

I guess I need to do a deep dive and see where the value is, but I know there’s no leads coming in.  

Many do get a better idea of the benefits but also the challenges of self-managing by diving in.
