I just moved to Columbus, Ohio and started investing local.It does not matter where you start as long as you develop your Core 4.

Just do your homework, find your Core 4 in the area you want to invest in (just make sure they know about the campus), etc.

3) Are there external factors that compel you to stay in medicine? 

Hi Jason,This maybe the hardest part of the core partners you need to be a house flipper or any type of REI, especially in this COVID climate.

It explains the importance of creating your core four.

It can go either way, but because you aren't asking that person directly, they tend not to feel pressured and it leaves the core relationship intact.Best of luck!

But I feel compelled to respond to this... again, not because of any black or white or brown issues...but just because of how wrong this statement is.

What I want is not actually freedom FROM work (because I very much like solving problems, building systems, creating teams and growing people and businesses), what I want freedom in HOW I work, WHO I work with, and WITHOUT A CAP ON MY INCOME that comes from being an employee.While this is certainly not the full "compelling why" its is a foundational part for me as it relates to understanding myself and living in line with my personal value. 

Though we have vetted maintenance workers, cleaners, painters, etc. in the past as we built our "core team" and created systems for our properties, we have never used a PM before. 

New investors with little time to play would be wise to mix in easier, low cash flow, options like turnkey over time, but not as a core.
