You have some options like driving for $'s to look for distressed & abandoned properties. 

I’ve been looking at data on rental properties in Destin and Panama City Beach, and certain amenities seem to drive higher booking rates.

I have investment properties here in Columbus, Ohio, which has seen significant growth, especially with tech giants like Intel, Meta, Amazon, and Google setting up operations, driving up property prices and job opportunities.

Yes - I believe that odds are better at making an NFL roster than sustained modest six-figure success in wholesaling.Most of this industry is filled with broke no income no job, no assets types who paid a large educational fee to one of the ~5-20 major gurus in the space and will never make meaningful income.

I am trying to house hack (3.5% down, owner-occupied, rent other rooms) in the Bay Area (driving distance about an hour from Redwood City and SF).

Did you keep that money in the multifamily or were you able to pull it out after driving up the value of the properties?

As an 18-year-old agent, own your energy and hustle—clients will respect your drive.

They admitted it was after a drunk driving incident, which at the time was a major red flag but I let it slide. 

The only way to effectively determine this is by driving neighborhoods, walking properties &  observing the daily routines of those who live there. 

Not sure if there is a better low-risk investment strategy that is damn near guaranteed to create meaningful wealth.
