Most of this piece probably won't focus too much on specific deals, but rather, on my experience throughout this (ad)venture, starting out as a reckless and aimless 22 year old. 

@Keeya WangJonesMy first piece of advice would be to think about getting your real estate license.  

I wouldn't expect a deal off of 1k pieces of mail in a warmer market. 

One of the pieces of work included was a complete rewiring of the house to remove the active knob & tube system.

Start posting 25 pieces of social media content a day.

Great intro @Melani Pratt, welcome to the site.One word of wisdom though: the first deal is not the hardest... that distinction is for the second one.Then once you have the second one, it's the third one.

I didn't consider being a landlord the piece of cake he was making it out to be.  

If you have investors and are looking for the last piece you may have a better chance than you just putting down a portion and then asking for the remaining amount of equity from a crowdfunding portal.

Hi BP fans,I am considering buying a piece of land in the center of  a gentrified/gentrifying town.

One of the best pieces of advice I have gotten so far is to educate myself!
