I think you have the basics of meeting partners and people to work with in your local market and seem to be well on the way with two deals going already so big congrats there!

You will learn so much more being hands-on!

@Jason LopezIf you only have one rental or a few I would worry more about how to get more vs trying to put each one in an LLC. 

It’s one of the few places where you can realistically achieve solid returns without needing a massive upfront investment.If you’re open to exploring other markets, Detroit might be worth considering.

We need to find a good app/website for them to send rent as well, preferably one that has many things built into it, making it more simple to manage things in one place.

The one thing I am unsure about is how earnest money works when you have yet to find a willing buyer to assign the contract to?

Additionally, we rented out a room for one year.

Then next year buy another one.

The potential issues can be a large list depending on the jurisdiction.Good luck
