I am retired and working on career #2 and 2 of 3 of our kids have left for college - our oldest is headed to UConn for her PhD (6 years) and instead of paying to rent, our thoughts are to do a version of a house hack with buying a house/condo and renting out one to two rooms to offset the costs of her rent.

They tend to have a passion for this career and are possibly long term tenants in the area.

It's one of the non-transparent gentrification+migration in history due high COL.For young people and business, it's no longer make sense to live independently in CA even to pursue career so TX gives better choice.

Hey @Ethan McManigle way to start to get things in motion for a successful and lucrative real estate investing career!

Google requires a physical address for listing (even though he's field service) neither will accept a P.O. box.

I don't think for a moment that RE (let alone wholesaling)  is a field where one can get extremely rich.

I am currently navigating the Bigger Pockets website as I am at the beginning of my Real Estate Investing Career. 

However, the ell includes the neighbor's septic drain field.  

Just like having a good team brings success on the field, having quality leads brings your success in your sales. 

If you have no real estate experience to sell, sell your ambition and prior successes in other fields.
