And consider putting a percentage into cryptos - sure, many coins may crash and many approaches are not time-tested, but also, there has never been such opportunities for life-changing gains as now exist in that space.Our wealth is spread between real estate, cash, stocks/funds, crypto, and a little in physical metals.

Hi Dylan,You could go to W2 work for a year for an industry biggie, such as Greystar or Pinnacle (market rate properties) in Texas, (or where you are at now), for a year as a leasing agent and (boots on the ground) learn how to lease units, as well as get an understanding of how to be a first class property manager Learn things such as, how to handle maintenance, reports, people skills, evictions, cash flows, unit turns, problem residents, borderline qualifiers, flag flyers, parking disputes, physical confrontations, arguments, personal safety, etc....That would chunk out your 1st year requirement as well as put some money in your pocket while doing it.And if the economy nose dives, ride it out on the W2.Just my 2 cents.

I've started my investment education journey about six months ago and have been soaking up a lot of physical information via books/videos/articles/forums and I'm looking to start going to meetups and events that can expand my network and hopefully get me in the same room with other investors interested in JV's or rental ventures in general.

If you think there's a risk to your physical safety, bring a couple witnesses.

This trend won't change due to many cities facing physical, legal or environmental barriers to new construction.

Ime still not 100% set on the Poconos yet but I have been physically looking in the area the last few weeks.
