@Tove Fox hope you find this copy & paste useful:)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

With that being said, I wasn't an agent or property manager when I first started, but I did start out self managing because I'm local and because real estate investing became my passion and my career (I used to be a golf pro).

I decided to add to that change by leaving my career to focusing on Real Estate.

My goal is to find off-market opportunities and present quality leads that fit the needs of active investors.Since I’m working remotely, I’d love to hear from experienced investors:What makes a remote bird-dogging service most valuable to you?

As a result, mid term rentals can do exceptional here and there are quality multi family units in the $250k/door range. 

Valuing your time and understanding your limits and skills will make a big difference in the equity you build, the quality of the work and your sanity.

I am looking to join a mentorship program to help lower my learning curve and until I find it, I am educating myself with books, as well as YouTube University and great advice from the BiggerPockets community.I do work full-time in a career that I love and is very rewarding, but I also know I won't attain my goals with my current job.

I still want to have a “regular” career for now, but know I have what it takes to successfully run a business- say in the form of real estate investing.
