I have about 6 months left in Hawaii and as I transition from the Marine Corps to the civilian world i will be moving back home to Southern Illinois and I really would like to get into real estate investing.

The property is located in the first ring eastern suburbs of Pittsburgh along dedicated rapid transit line just four stops and 25 minutes from downtown.   

I'd be very happy with a once-weekly update as long as I can trust that things are going as smoothly as possible.

Amit - thanks for the post N Seattle / Greenwood  likely has lots more appreciation in the future IMO due to 1) relatively close proximity to downtown    2) future increased transit  options being  built presently ( light rail )  buying a " far off "  property  in order to pay for present rent  ….. 

Currently in the fix and flip game but looking to transition over into buy and hold once I’ve built the capital.

If you want to focus on listings, you could target Seniors with Long-Time Ownership (ready to downsize or transition to assistance) or Homeowners with Low Financial Stability Scores.If you want to be a buyer's agent, consider partnering with a mortgage broker to run some first-time home buyer seminars (or meetups).

For managing, I was thinking while the transition for licensing happens I could start up the maintenance side of things.

My long term goal would be eventually to transition into larger commercial multifamily units.

My goal is to transition into multifamily investing from SFR. 

I've been provided by the seller what appears to be solid leases.What're some best practices in this type of transition?
