Most people do not realize when someone liens a property its just a lien, but to collect on it they must file a lawsuit to collect that money which will cost them 5x more than what its worth. I

--Andrew CarnegieMy advice (which is not worthy of sharing the screen with a BP host/Prez) is to pick a market near you where you think you would like to own a property. 

Let me know if I missed any worthy candidates also.Some pros and cons you've found with any of these specific sites would be highly valued as well.

We live in an expensive city now our home worth is at least $1.15 million and we have 500K in equity.

A lot to unpack but my overriding 'advice' for what it is worth is to make sure you seperate the values of the park and the tri plex and analyze independantly. 

Dallas-Fort Worth is a smart choice, man the growth there is off the charts, and there’s plenty of room for first-timers with the drive to go all-in.I remember helping a buddy of mine who was in a similar boat to you, he was switching from a totally different career and diving into real estate.

Even if you can in your chosen market get a STR worthy property you will be on the lowest barrier to entry segment. 

@John Morgan, unless your net worth is more than 1 million dollars.

So far I have not had any struggles luckily but I'm sure they will come, likely it will be finding tenants that can actually pay what these homes are worth, I have been getting crap lowball leads through FF.

Met with a representative and before I wire this company a large portion of my net worth I would like to see if anyone else has experience working with them.Exchange Resources, Inc. 3570 Camino Del Rio NorthSuite 100San Diego, Ca. 92108Thanks Lee
