Unless has some really specific degree they need to obtain for their chosen career track, I tell almost everyone that accounting is the best option for options.Law degree, which I guess helps me understand complicated documents, litigation, insurance, etc.

We never know the path chosen for us but I do know you need to think long and hard before making that decision and NO ONE on here or anywhere else can guide you.

The markets that I have chosen are solid markets just like Sacramento but the rent to value ratios are in favor of the landlord.

It took us 6 years to find a team on the ground that we could trust  but now we could not be happier investing in the city,,, or to be more accurate the parts of the city that we have chosen to invest in.. numbers are outstanding.. more then willing ot share what we have learnt there with anyone who wants to chat

I work in the field of syndications with very carefully chosen Sponsors. 

When you've narrowed down your chosen team members (for BRRRR or flipping) or turnkey providers to your top one or two, fly out to meet them.

(I'm also assuming that, in either case, you're not deploying your last penny - always keep a cash reserve.)If you can get a prop that produces more than $12k per year in gross rent (the diff between $78k and 90k on these two props) in your chosen market, then that might be the way to go for you if your primary goal is more doors. 

That $20K can prove very helpful on your first investment.Have you read the top books on your chosen RE investment field (flipping, buy n hold, wholesaling, syndicates, MF, SF, duplex to quad, notes, trailer parks, storage unit, retail commercial, etc..)? 

Bottom line is money not in my pocket is money in someone elses' pocket, which is why I think the name of this site (BiggerPockets) is very aptly chosen.

I have chosen to go the LLC route for each property and was told the safe bet is to open a separate bank account per property to manage expenses/transactions etc....
