Once our income is replaced, we will continue to add to our real estate portfolio and start looking for opportunities to invest into businesses.I came to join Bigger Pockets by searching the internet. 

Be prepared to pay $75 to an electrician to flip a tripped breaker or change a ceiling light bulb, $75 to a plumber to change a flapper in a toilet or a cartridge in a faucet, $750 to replace a hot water tank, fridge, washer/dryer, $100 to a cable/internet tech to unplug and plug in a modem, the list goes on.

So, the internet says this is not a good idea.

Typically, a licensed agent or a current property owner with experience in the product field you are concentrating in will be the best help.

All the information you could ever need is all over the internet.

If the property you're buying is owner occupied, the investor concentration doesn't come into play because you will improve the investor concentration. 

Affordable, good coverage and an internet based system you can use to add/drop properties. 

for two reasons.you have a good amount of inventory to wholesale as you have burnt out landlords and you have old homeowners who want out of the neighborhood because it has turned from owner occupied to rentals.. some areas its just not a very feasible business to try to start.also its MUCH harder than the internet makes it seem and you do need money.. unless you happen to know a lot of folks with distressed real estate like through your church or family or what have you.. its sales and marketing business..

Have you identified a niche in real estate you want to concentrate on?

In terms of the strategy, pick one the interests you the most at this time and concentrate on it until you perfect it, then move on to add another strategy, and etc...
