Just search the forums here and you'll read a ton about the program.I tell people it is a tool rather than a strategy.

Looking for help from people in this thread.

I have seen plenty of of people live in homes I would never live in

People follow those who have unique takes and are original.

They are people and have needs/concerns too.

You do not need a license (like a brokers license) to manage your own properties.However, check your town to make sure you don't need a business license.In Tacoma, WA, as an example, even if you have a property manager, the owners themselves also need to have a Tacoma business license.If you hire a property manager, they will need a brokers license to manage other people's properties.Good luck!

Most people won't, so you can eventually have what they can't. 

A lot of people will agree, but I did want to provide some context for counter arguments that people may have that you should be prepared for: 1.

Hoping to meet a small group 3-6 people that can brainstorm, ask questions, and help hold each other accountable for our goals. 

I understand nobody can predict the future but I just wanted a general idea of where people think the fundamentals are strong.On researching the neighboring markets, I also found the Oswego market interesting.
