While I fully invest remotely these days, I wouldn't start new in REI in a remote market until learning the ropes in my local market.

Let me start by saying that they are both great shows and I think Dave Meyer is great, as are the other present and past guests of both shows. 

OpportunitiesAffordability: Compared to many West Coast markets, Albuquerque properties often come at a more affordable price point, making it possible for investors to get started without a massive initial capital.Rental Demand: Due to the presence of UNM and other educational institutions, there's a consistent demand for rental properties, especially those close to campuses.Cultural Appeal: With its rich Native American and Hispanic heritage, Albuquerque offers cultural festivals, markets, and historical sites.

Send me a message if you want to chat in more detail (background is in live in flips, LTR, MTR, and STR).  

If you don't already have an investor friendly agent in this area go to the top of the page and click on AGENTS and go from there.. or maybe chat with someone here in this area of Fort Worth. 

I don't do instant booking and chat with each and every guest.

Taking these two pieces of info will tell you how long you will take to get an offer, so if you go past that you should lower the price, and then the other action item would be to starting off lower than all the other properties if the condition is better than your condition.

It’s awesome to see you starting your real estate journey so early, congrats. 

UPDATE:  Just chatted with the city and learned that variances have a high threshold for approval.
