Will you stay local and on base or have the potential to be deployed?

I always recommend attending a few local investor meetups if you're looking to connect with more investors in your area.

@Padam Neopane this is a very localized topic.

I also do buy and holds my self locally.

To invest in Sherman, connect with property managers, local investor realtors, and real estate investment groups.

Explore out-of-state markets like the Midwest and Southeast, use local property managers, and join online investor groups.

Some deals just "work" from day 1 and everything falls into place.Others don't work out no matter what you do.I've done hundreds of them in my local market and would only sell if it was one of those doozy type deals.Funny thing is, a property I own next door might be fine.But for whatever reason the cursed property just isn't lol.If you are wanting to use the equity, then use it to "Gung Ho" and full time.Meaning, don't buy turnkey and use the capital to buy, fix and flip instead.Money makes money and being very hands on and active, you can get to where you want to be quicker.Just my opinion.Thanks 

I'd recommend starting by researching your local landlord/tenant laws and learning them inside and out.

There are local firms that will do it for you with the cost of about 1/3 the tax savings. 

It's best to consult a local attorney
