You can get in with a diverse skillset (blue collars have a ton of synergy with real estate) that doesn't necessitate a degree.But with that said, let's be clear. 

West Jackson   you have C class blue color pretty tough to manage area of rentals  South Jackson  you have nicer predominately homeowners in north east and north Jackson but the value between the neighborhoods can be substantial yet the demographics are all the same. .. so within the same race there is neighborhood segregation .. just like older NE cities that segregated by European ethnicity  IE Germans lived here the Polish lived here the Jews lived here the Italians  lived here. 

Purchase: Marta Brown, Blue Peach RealtySale: Eric Feng, Keller WilliamsI learned so much from them and I’m forever grateful!

I have a bit of cash saved up (about 45K), and I work at a blue-collar job as an Amazon warehouse employee (around 41K/year working 60 hours a week).I listen to at least 7 hours of BP podcasts or business books per workday at my job and am at a point where I am pretty sure I know what I am doing in regards to analyzing deals and getting to know the area I would like to invest in.

You have obviously drank the blue cool aid.

@Joe VilleneuveThis sounds great but how do you choose someone trustworthy of a long term financial relationship out of the blue?

They do a great job of getting vacancies filled quickly, but every time a vacancy is filled, it seems that I get hit with some expensive repairs that seemingly come from out of the blue.

I dont really like to write or have the skill to be a formal writer.. but I am full of blue sky ideas LOL 

Recently, I saw a multi-family come on the market in the Spring area (where I will soon be moving), and wanted to give some of y'all an idea of what kind of stuff is still around, even if it only comes up once in a blue moon.The numbers:It's a fourplex, as previously mentioned, that is priced at 374,000.

The name should be in blue in the comment box.
