Am I as single minded as a dog chasing a squirrel?

I sign up for this all in 2019 for this is the first time I’ve logged in.I bought a place in 2018, remodeled and sold in 2022 and chased my dream of 20 years of moving to Jackson Wy however investing here in not an option since I’m not a billionaire sooooo I am planning my next moves and looking to invest.I have roughly $30K (potentially $50K) to invest in a flex and flip as I’m not sure I could do the landlord thing.I have been looking in places I would like to actually live which is eastern Oregon, North central/East Tennessee, Rapid City or Naples-Clearwater Florida areas.Any help or ideas would be awesome!

A lot of sellers are burned-out landlords who like the idea of "passive income"/mailbox money after years of chasing late rent payments, dealing with tenant BS and maintaining the property (I use quotes for "passive income" b/c no income is truly passive IMO, a wise seller will still pay attention to what's happening with the property in case they need to take it back, but collecting payments like a bank is generally easier than collecting them like a landlord, you can set up ACH with the buyer's bank or hire a loan processing company to handle it). 

You should never be chasing someone trying to give them business.

Real leads are chasing YOU instead of you chasing them.

JPMorgan Chase, Nationwide, Honda, L Brands, Huntington, and Amazon are just a few of the many companies that have thousands of jobs in the city.

Instead of chasing success, I focused on crafting a genuine connection with my clients through informative videos and a heartfelt commitment to service.As the seeds of change took root, the fruits of my labor began to blossom.

My pet county starts tomorrow morning and time to redeem ends in about 30 minutes  there are 400 items last I checked.. its a big one.. the one I really wanted got redeemed yesterday thoughIn the old days we would be a player for probably 50 to 75 of these going.. now I just cherry pick if I can 

This way, you won't have to chase them down for one later.  

Assets with barriers of entry is what you should be chasing and most fail to realize that.
