One of the top priorities is having an investor friendly Realtor and utilizing their network to help build a team that has great communication with each other.

It's also not a path to riches at all.

You help your landlord grow rich. 

Here are some steps to help you get started:Education and Learning:Read Books: Start with foundational books like "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki and "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" by Gary Keller. 

I have purchase many & the land riches blueprint is the best I have seen. 

I even use Skype and TeamViewer to communicate with clients so I'd highly recommend looking for one of the best with great references that interviews well with you.So look for someone you can connect with that works out for your situation.Feel free to ask here if you have questions

I rent nice places to renters all the time and they take good care of the property, pay rent on time, communicate well, etc.

*None of my original posts, forum responses, private messages, or any other dialogue via any other methods of communication should be construed as tax advice.

Also, in regards to communication with your lender, I always tell my clients to consider me as their lawyer and tell me everything (good, bad and ugly) and then I can best help them navigate how to communicate to the Underwiters.

This is not get rich quick... but it is get rich for sure.
