Hi all,A long time ago Brandon Turner (@BeardyBeandon) mentioned his minimum criteria for investing was: * $100/mo/door cash flow* 10% CoC annual return I’ve used that as a guide since I heard that… thank you Brand Turner! 

Quote from @Paige Seeley: Do yourself a favor: buy "Every Landlord's Legal Guide" by NOLO.

The answers to those questions would guide the recommendation I would give.

When I started REI, BP platform has guided me, and three years after, I already have my own RE investments. 

Also, Texas A&M has a great tenant landlord guide to help with most of the laws you'll need to be aware of;https://trerc.tamu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Landlord-a...My vote is to self manage our first 5 ish units.

They can guide you on the most cost-effective and efficient path forward to protect your interests and ensure compliance with legal requirements.Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.

To Mark Norick how do I get your guide?

I am now hoping your team can help guide me before I do something stupid! 

Here are a few I recommend: "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Roberto Kiyosaki; "Set for Life" by Scott Trench; "The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing" by Spencer; "The BiggerPockets Ultimate Beginners Guide" found here on BP; "The Book on Rental Property Investing" by Brandon Tuner.

Even if you're not quite ready to buy, you can start practicing with running your numbers, which an experienced agent can help guide you on.
