I'm hesitant to buy rentals in west or new haven because I feel the quality of tenant would be so much lower, higher vacancy etc...

Getting too wrapped around the axle about finding the ideal first deal is a good way to miss the game because you were too busy sitting on the sidelines wondering when to enter.sounds awesome. the second half of your post is nailing where i'm at right now: figuring out when to jump in based off of knowing that something decent is in front of me rather than waiting for great numbers in particular. my goal is to have something during first half of next year and not blow it, basically. if i break even, or anywhere near it pretty much, then i'll be happy cause of getting over the knowledge/fear/hesitancy humps.

Since I have been playing for a while and the industry is getting smaller due to regulations which reduces the traffic and the number of recreational players (which makes the game less profitable) I think is the moment to start transitioning to Real Estate.I am literally devorating everything in BP, just bought the 2 books of Brandon Turner (hey Brundon if you read this just let you know that I love the way you explain and the methods of teaching you follow, I really find them effective for newbies like me) so I will be trying to educate myself in RE as much as I can in order to be succesful in the future.If there is someone out there who is also starting in RE, in spanish market and want to connect me to talk about whatever or just for future networking, dont hesitate to do it!

If anyone who has expierence with this method of purchasing / acquiring Rental properties, please don't hesitate to comment , as well as any advice you may want to give :)Always appreciate any help and input I get from fellow members Thanks so much

Because of this I am hesitant to get started with even putting together a "yellow-letter" and starting a mail campaign. 

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out.

Thanks for the advice, I am hesitant to pull out any of my retirement funds to fund any of the real estate. 

As @J Scott has intimated on another thread on this subject he sits on the board of some of his investments.
