I’ll check out the tools and resources you mentioned and focus on learning and networking.

The post below has a link to it if you’re curious:https://www.biggerpockets.com/topics/693527It was my attempt to model the key financial incentives for REI, which members have mentioned above, like inflation protection, capital appreciation, tax benefits, equity build up, and of course the beauty of refinancing.If you’re familiar with project financing you’ll know as value of real capital appreciates regearing will boost returns quite significantly.

At a $300K budget there are definitely some neighborhoods in the mentioned areas that fit your budget.
