Find someone who's doing what it is you want to do in the market you want to do it in and bring them value to learn.

For now, I'm mostly focused on identifying the right markets.

The conversation covers issues like the impact on property values, tenant rights, and the broader effects on the real estate market. 

Goal would be to acquire 20 rentals by the age of retirement, with some already starting to be paid off.I am in the same boat as you, and I focus on safe appreciation all day (small cash flow for safety and then focused on markets on that appreciate). 

I work specifically with investors and market for run-down properties that I am able to offer to investors I work with exclusively, on top of the properties that are available on the MLS.

@Linda PhamAll our midterm rentals are in Colorado as are our clients, so I don't know Houston's market.

Youve asked is there a resource for finding market rents?

The house hadn't been on the market long. 

The property was in a great market but needed a full cosmetic rehab and basement finish to add a bedroom and increase resale value.

Until the lease ends and then the legal notice time in your market has passed.
