Any advice, suggestions, books, videos or discussions are welcomed and greatly appreciated.

I know a lot of folks that started with 1 or 2 properties that they bought from A turnkey rental seller and then went on their own, after all, purchasing and owning A rental property is the real experience it is far more hands on then any course your listen or video youll ever watch, so for someone that has the funds and is eager to learn the real way, and is okay to not make his full top profit of their first few investment properties it would be an idea for them to start with A turnkey seller.But as mentioned here, it definitely comes with A certain price tag, although for some starters they can pay up even more when they start on their own, and with A turnkey seller they'll actually save money.It all depends on the investors capabilities, experience, guts, funds avail, time (if you got they full time job besides real estate) etc...

I use WOW Video Tours for my listings.

They've become a sort of extended family.Otherwise, I had done wholesale acquisitions and a live-in flip.I have a YouTube channel with a few videos that discuss house hunting, nuances of buying real estate in Italy and show some of our renovation process. 

Have the agent video everything, just in case tenant is there and causes a scene or refuses access.You will either get the work done or have a video supporting your eviction.

.: @Eric N.I totally agree, hitting home run is not as easy as watching a Youtube video :))And it's generally true for any endeavor, there is one Lebron James for thousands of wannabes.

I also watched Chad Carson's videos about being a small but might investor. 

I have watched many of his videos & he contradicts himself a lot & is unauthentic.

Happy to look at properties or do video walk throughs.

I get the general gist of it but also know it’s a little more complicated than the videos make it out to be.
