I’m in the military (active duty army), and looking to invest nationally since I move around a lot.

I do think MT might see better activity, but also more owner involvement and the added intricasies of furnishings, etc, so if you're willing that might be the better route.

No doubt having a license and actively investing creates a lot of synergy.

I’m an active agent with one current listing and three more hitting the market in March.

There is an active lawsuit against Mr Djuric in Harris County.

Fix & Flip is very active, and most would say it's not real estate investing.

Once you have the desired amount of business credit for the downpayment and have activated the cards, upload the card(s) that you'll be using to Plastiq, ( preferably Visa for real estate from what I'm told ).

That way you know they are active in the BP community!

If at some point it just takes too much of your time or energy you can always turn over to PM to manage.If you think you will buy 4 this year, then that might save you enough money to buy a 5th.While I think it is great to have plans and goals, I will say most of my good and active investors target one a year. 

A few of my clients are actively doing BRRRRs in Sacramento by going for duplexes, adding ADU's, splitting lots and building another SFH.
