Just make sure you're actually putting pen to paper and doing your due diligence on underwriting. 

(not sure on state law but this probably is a tough sell)4.

So I want purchase it as my first rental property it's going to need rennovations for sure not terrible shape just older rancher home.

We both run our own businesses but we feel that real estate will help make sure we both maintain our life plans of not needed to work as much any more.

It's a love hate for sure lol.I host a monthly meetup focusing on finance and real estate investing.

That being said due to the number of sharks out there I would only spend money that I can afford to lose. 

My idea is to get an apartment and make sure it’s okay with the owner to rent it out as an Airbnb.

Sure it may require some touch-ups here and there when you're done, but for the most part it turns out to be nicer in the end.

But there are challenges for sure.

My wife and I were in analysis paralysis for sure, but then the academy dropped and we were sure we wanted to get into RE, but didn’t know how and this course was WAY cheaper than comps that ultimately just try and sell you a conference that just tries to sell you… on and on plus like you said, we got most of our money back and got to keep the material.
