@Kaias BlancoI will share with you some advice I got when I was about your age… maybe a few years older… I’m now 54… and this advice has served me well through the years; and it sounds so simplistic:   “You are where you are because you choose to be there.”What that means is that the limits as you currently see them are self imposed.  

-What factors to consider when choosing?

Knowing what goal you have in mind allows you to choose the right strategy to get you there.I own a vertically integrated real estate company that ties in the Core 4 to make OOS investing simple and lucrative. 

You just have to learn to train your tenants to pay on time whatever method you choose.

I'd say first, figure out what kind of investing you're into and make sure that the market you choose supports it. 

How many here would like to own a company where others bring them viable deals to pick and choose from and then charge $795 for a final review.

Or it may turn out you just like to stick to the first strategy you choose. 

I don’t want to fail, but I’m terrified I might pick the wrong market, work with the wrong broker, hire the wrong property management company or choose a property that ends up needing more work than expected.

After contacting about 4 lenders, I am finally trying to choose between these two offers:Option #1: 200K at 10.5 % variable rate, 20-year draw periodOption#2: 138k at 7.6% variable rate, 10-year draw period.Which of these would be beneficial for a newbie investor like me.

Think about your goals but also your time and energy budget when choosing an asset or location.
