I have a good FT job in education administration, but I want to retire asap, focusing on RE (so, not really retiring, but you get the idea).

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

So I have a few questions I wanted to asked this well educated community.

@John Friendas Without knowing the expenses and costs associated with it I can’t make an educated judgement.

We've got strong job growth (tech, healthcare, education), stable population growth, strong rental demand, and plenty of value-add opportunities in multifamily.

Educate yourself, become expert, then make decisions from a place of expertise.  

Do you provide move in and move out reports How many pictures do you take of the property prior to tenant moves in and after the tenant moves outDo you get weekly reports when the property is vacant what prospective tenants are saying about your homeDo you provide monthly newsletters to your tenantsDo you hold investor education classes to help me become a better investorDo you have single point portfolio based management services?

So, I went hunting.Huntsville, Alabama, caught my attention because it’s a highly educated city with growing industries and a stable, diverse economy, as well as a really high quality of life compared to the surrounding areas. 

Stay educated on Florida market trends and BRRRR success stories.Good luck!
