Am I giving myself another job/business?

@Brittany MyrickIf I were getting started in real estate investing in New England, I’d focus on researching local market trends, especially job growth, rental demand, and the broader economic outlook.

If you do a good job picking tenants, you will be fine.

I have a good FT job in education administration, but I want to retire asap, focusing on RE (so, not really retiring, but you get the idea).

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Columbus also has great macroeconomics - lots of job growth, population growth, and major employers developing here.

That's the first question as real estate is like another job and if you are upgrading properties it's like running a daycare. also what experience do you have?

The job market is tight here in Lake County right now.

I was specifically interested in his 2nd plan which was "Building wealth through single-family homes" where he basically says you save enough to buy your first property along with enough for other fees and then you just keep saving the money you make from that property along with some money you save from your job and once you have enough money you buy your next property and then you basically just keep repeating that until you have your desired amount of properties.
