I am new to real estate investing, struggling to make a name for myself in this fast paced, crowded industry.

Theyve been with me almost a decade and im struggling with this one.

Im struggling to figure out if investing in a syndication like you is what I should do or hold out for decent deals in our area.Thanks

I am struggling with the idea of selling one solid home to buy 2 unknows. 

Homes below $250k as well as rentals below $1,800 have continued to surge and are seeing peak activity while high-end housing has been struggling for a few months.  

I struggle with the same question.

. (~4-6 bedrooms here).B-level: Similar criteria to A-level but without the custom built homes, 2-income families can afford to live here and raise a family, backyards for the kids, 1500-2000 sq ft houses (~3 bed/2-bath homes).C-level: Majority of houses under 100K, visual repairs needed in this neighborhood, 1200 sq ft average, houses close together, some properties worn down, grass not cut, porch awnings sagging, concrete stairs crumbling a bit.D-level: Struggling neighborhoods, garbage on the streets, bars on the windows, higher crime, crowded areas, downtown city area, wouldn't want to walk around here at night.F-level: War-zone, "get me outta here" property, makes you nervous to enter the neighborhood even in daylight.That's my basic approach when I think about properties and what areas make the most sense to invest in.

I've had a few family members in the area struggle with tenants not paying in this area, so I have wondered if getting a property manager would help with that?
