You can find deals but they often need a lot of repairs/renovations, and depending on your skill and/or team, it might make these viable options or properties you want to avoid.

Third- you are using Evolve so you have lost control.You should lower your price to under $200/night.

But podcasts, books, seminars, I feel so lost still. 

Unfortunately, I lost both my father and a close mentor within the past six weeks, and each left me significant real estate and some cash/investments.

Thach and his team are great.

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

He is a great and patient teacher, and after his 1-day class found thru my local Cincinnati REIA, and attending his 4-day bootcamp, my team is now seeking 30-50 unit buildings just to get started.  

Highly suggest looking into meetups near you to build your network/team as you start out. 

If not and I have to go out and build the team and organize the deal, I will factor that in too. 

Or is it possible to have property manager only to help rent out during turn over, once tenant moves in, I can build a local team and manage on my own.
