I’m eager to learn the process and take actionable steps.I’m particularly interested in acquiring land and identifying creative ways to add value, whether through flipping, owner financing, or long-term holds.My long-term vision includes owning rental properties, possibly starting with a multi-family home where I can live in one unit and rent out the others.I’m also exploring opportunities in modular housing and small community developments to fill a growing demand for affordable yet modern housing solutions.Outside of real estate, I have a background in auto detailing and entrepreneurship, which has taught me the importance of quality, attention to detail, and perseverance.

Biggest thing IMO is getting close to the train station and have a high quality units that may not look attractive on paper the first few years but will have the ability to raise rents consistently long term. 

The other qualities of being successful is just consistency, do it daily.  **** is hard, but that's the reason not everyone is successful. 

The big thing is to get started with a good, quality property.

I hope you learn from this and hire a quality PM for the next time.I would try two things, simultaneously:1.

Second most important thing is can they tell me the quality of tenant I will be renting to.

In your new hole, supplant with a high quality mulch soil mix.

Finally- you can eliminate 95% of the troubles and risk by simply having professional and legal screening and management processes, so don't sleep on that piece.
