Since you’re already diving into BiggerPockets, focus on clarifying your investment goals (house hacking, multifamily, or BRRRR), building your network with experienced investors and lenders, and most importantly, taking action by analyzing real deals.

The problem with metrics is that there is no one metric that fits all investors and situations.Looking at some of the enervation shows on TV, the price they pay and what they put into the property would never work in the markets we have experience in.  

I've spoken to countless investors facing this same problem and I can feel the sense of frustration and helplessness, especially when your builder goes dark. 

Quote from @James Jones: Hey BP community,Excited to join this amazing group of investors!

What I mean is look for areas that are favorable for investors / landlords.

Seasoned investors have a minimum per door and that's around $150/mo now.

Try a Google search for managers or look for an investors group in the area that can provide personal recommendations.1.

BiggerPockets is full of resources designed to help you along your journey, whether you are just getting started or a seasoned investor.

Better to have one agent knowing I am an investor and handyman.

If you are not finding good deals money wont find you.If you earn a decent wage and are credit worthy you can start investing by house hacking a multi family with a low down payment mortgage.If you have no money or credit your best best is start finding deals and bringing them to other investors who have money.
