I was trying to get started, had all the information but needed to pull the trigger to get in the game. 

I would get back to local real estate investor meetups so you can connect with locals to the area and kind of get back in the game slowly that way.

Switching from Appfolio to RentVine with 1100 SF doors was a game-changer for us, and our only regret is not making the transition sooner.

Keeping everyone aligned—lenders, inspectors, attorneys—prevents bottlenecks that could derail the timeline.Lastly, tackling big tasks early (like ordering inspections or raising equity) is a game-changer.

Ramsey, your game plan seems like a great idea.

That's why I'm asking for more opinions from people who have been in the game longer. 

2024 will go down as, "The Year of Taking Action".Getting back in the game came with some challenges.

@Edward Toomey V I feel like this is a frustration for us all in the property management game.

My girlfiend and I are looking in La Grange and Brookfield which is not quite as fast west as you, but my aunt lives in Wheaton so I am quite familiar with your area.What's your game plan over the next two years?
