As you begin your REI journey here is one tip I have for you:Use this website as you are trying to narrow down the places you want to invest in. https://www.areavibes.com/Its awesome because it gives you a "total livability score" & you can compare different zip codes & streets to others. 

I’d appreciate any guidance or tips to get started on the right path.

Quote from @John Winters: Greetings BP ~I am hoping to receive some feedback on the financial feasibility of this plan and/or some tips to improve it. 

If you have any tips, resources, or advice for someone just starting out, I’d greatly appreciate your insights.Some specific things I’m working on right now:Building a strong buyers list.Identifying motivated sellers and honing my outreach.Learning the ins and outs of structuring win-win deals.I’m open to partnering, collaborating, or just grabbing coffee to exchange ideas.

If anyone has tips or suggestions, I am more than open.For better or worse, I am taking a leap.

And you are saying agents, the ones trained to do real estate are messing up the deal, and not you?

If so do you have any suggestions or tips for best practices to do this?

If you ever want to explore loopholes, tips or tricks on the finance side let me know or send me an email. 

This training can make you a multi millionaire  at best or put 50 to 100k+ in your pocket every year part time. 

I think leveraging the initial property even further with such tight margins is a train wreck waiting to happen.
