I decided to get a remote job, establish work history, save up enough capital for my first househack while I researched and learned about markets and strategies.I'd like to create an active business and I am looking at the MTR strategy.

Just make sure not to open any new unsecured debts, or change jobs.

Unfortunately, I work a full-time job during the day and don't have a caretaker for the property, which makes it difficult for me to reach her at times that work for me.At your advice, I will definitely consider sending the five-day via certified mail. 

Investors buy here because of strong jobs, strong rent growth, strong appreciation and the future cash flow but honestly many of my clients are playing the long buy and hold, appreciation game.

I am in University and have my Real Estate License and am planning to work part-time as an Agent once I pass my exam to make connections and to keep learning about my San Jose/Santa Clara Market (plus hopefully increase my income).I am saving all I make at my current job and am trying to understand at what point I can start looking to buy my first Property. 

@David Tran - It sounds like your contractor didn't do a good job at disclosing all the details to you.

@Dan KielySugar Land and Katy are family-friendly suburbs with good schools, a strong job market, and a safe environment, but have higher property taxes and commute times.

Based on what I have read and watched, it does not seem like you can quit your day job with 1 property, as most of your capital is tied up in it.

I started learning real estate investment to quit my full-time job and spend more time with my 3-year-old daughter as well as build cashflow to pay for her future private school tuition.

These can be great investments but may require more maintenance.Job Market: While diversifying, keep an eye on the local job market trends.Has anyone here invested in Bay City?
