Focusing on connecting with as many people as possible and looking at plenty of deals. 

@Shayan Sameer If you can service all debt and property expenses and have money left over then I'd say it's worth it.

I'd be surprised that you couldn't find several HML with that record, assuming you haven't defaulted.

I’d recommend starting by connecting with local investor groups and networking with other professionals in the area.Also, seek out teams that are actively investing and managing properties on the ground.

A cheap place to get to and stay, with good weather and plenty to do, especially for spouses/family that may be less interested in real estate. 

@Whitney Nash has helped plenty of biggerpockets members.

If you've heard a good podcast or read a good book I'd love a recommendation. 

There's plenty of great areas for REI up there, no?

You don’t want someone who could cause legal issues, neighbor complaints, or worse.There are plenty of qualified tenants out there who pay on time and don’t steal.

Only thing I'd say is that I've seen a slight tightening of the market as more people hear about the model.
