Learn as much as you can start small and grow at your own pace.

I also say do ad much online/ self paced/ nights and weekends so you can still do what you want during the day to grow your real estate business.

It will probably end out the same amount with the slower pace.

You're right, in the end the decision would be based on what best fits my needs which I think may be selling at this point to grow at a faster pace.

I understood that my trajectory as an individual would out-pace what that job had to offer.

Colorado Springs is good if you want a slightly slower pace but with some city amenities.

Setting the pace with an efficient rehab and a strict property manager will help to get things off to a good start and ultimately make your tenants happier.

Hopefully rents increase on pace with HOA increases.
