I have a house of estrogen -- the missus and two teen girls.

@Brandon Turner always says that RE is sexy.

I cannot say enough about this place (Sarasota, FL), it is great in so many ways: lots of cultural events, weather, low taxes, growth, real estate investment opportunities, good schools, great weather for flying planes, beach volleyball, SCUBA diving, great food.So, more about me professionally: I read the Art of the Deal by Donald Trump and was immediate hooked on real estate, that was in my late teens to early 20's as I recall.

I have always been intrigued by real estate since my late teens, but never really educated myself on how to actually get started.

RobI second Rob,Toledo and Dayton are very sexy cashflow markets offering solid B class products with blue collar working class tenants.We have done hundreds of deals in 3+ years with ZERO breaks ins during or after rehab and only 3 evictions.1 hostile and 2 peaceful.Really check out the Ohio market and as there hasn't been hudge fund billions thrown here yet $$$Much success

Not as sexy a figure anymore...Quote from @Henry Zhu: @Chad S.I was researching about Airbnb in TX the other day, and have found out LTR is really hard to cash flow these days with high property tax.

Right now, I am looking at sponsors advertising IRRs in the high teens, with little to no operating experience. 

Yes you can do it legally but ...really, these are children, pre teen for crying out loud,  not employees.

However I think I've been putting my knowledge of when I worked in construction as a teen to the game more than anything else xD

sexy, if it's detracting from your quality of life, one could argue it defeats the purpose; I personally know investors that went from owning 60+ SFR's with debt to selling most doors in order to own a fraction of them free-and-clear for the peace of mind and ability to "sleep better at night."
