Maybe you will have a closer commute to work, maybe you're closer to parks, favorite restaurants, interesting events, etc.

Hello Frederick,These forums are a good place to start.I also suggest looking up local meets/Events to begin networking.

I’m looking to do LTR on the property, and ideally won’t need an out, but there’s always the challenge of life changing events.

Check out the Events tab to find local and virtual meet ups.

I’ve been to several of their events and thought they were top notch.

I will update this thread if the seller accepts my offer.A few days after they approved me for financing, I get a call from a guy with very bad manners, peddling the Lee Anderson Broker online training and the subsequent 4 day certification in June at an event.  

It's important to analyze what went wrong to avoid making the same mistake again.I see a lot of new investors spend their very last dime purchasing a rental, then they have no money available to cover unforeseen events like what you experienced.

This city hosts a vibrant, diverse community with a strong emphasis on family-friendly activities, educational opportunities, and cultural events that enrich its residents' lives.

Real estate investing involves learning strategies, mindset, and wealth-building principles through books, podcasts, seminars, and networking events.

go to local REIA events and just network, see what people are doing and find ways to learn.
