Everyone does that a little when starting out but statically speaking spreading effort into multiple markets is not the best use of your time.

I started in residential, had 6 units.

When looking at properties in other cities, I usually start by researching market trends like price-to-rent ratios, crime rates, and growth potential.

I've started, grown & sold 4 companies over the last 15 years (two PE exits).

Maybe any wholesalers, investors, fix&flippers, landlords willing to share any experience.I am a fast learner and willing to provide my business, trade for trade, to learn how to acquire my first property whether that would be a small 4-8 unit building or start big with a 20-unit building. 

It starts at 6!

Look at the application, start pricing third party flat fee services for each step.

This is a great example of why the sponsor is an integral part: "it all starts with a good sponsor", but the deals matter too.  

We are just starting to research and plan for a move out to the southeast somewhere, still in early planning phase. 

I’ve heard so many inspiring stories about members who started with nothing and now own multiple properties by taking a chance.
