Just looking to get a head start I guess you could say.

@Renee R. just a heads up that there can be significant tax implications to hiring a property manager vs. self-manage.

It is not really apples to apples, but generally speaking the more money invested the further ahead you will be eventually in the future, just because your compounding base is higher, regardless of where the money comes from - ie, 4 300k properties are 1.2 million on property, which is double the 600k property.

Just a heads up that Dave Meyer and Henry Washington answered this question during the podcast episode we published yesterday (Ep. 1,057).

Vehicle expenses are one of the major costs to consider, so living nearby helps reduce those expenses and saves you time.

Just add novation language allowing the change of buyer name and inform the title company and lender of the change ahead of time. 

It’s worth looking into now to get ahead of it, but also depends on your comfort level and goals.

I was just a guest at an Airbnb that was not 5-star, so I provided very detailed feedback privately and a heads up that I would not be giving 5 stars.

If you want to be completely self-sufficient, you're willing to build an Earthbag home or another building that can be earthquake proofed but can still be run without public utilities, you can spend a ton of money on a well and can have that well water processed to remove contaminated mine crap, you have a great off-road vehicle and you can figure out how to deal with the flooding without redirecting that water onto someone else's land then you can definitely live there.If it's an Investment you're after, give that up.

(Only if you are SERIOUS about real estate as your wealth/career vehicle.)Make sure you join a brokerage that is large, established, and has a reputation for top performance and excellent training.Once you learn the basics and get out into the field to see the state of the market, you'll learn the price points and be able to know a good/great deal when you stumble across it.I have made some of my best (most lucrative) buys from meeting with a seller who wants to list, and when we discussed the price, I knew it fit my parameters, so I bought it!
