(i also just became a license real estate sale agent"inactive license")Any recommendation or advice on a process that would be good to transition for purchasing a second property would be great!

I am looking forward to starting a new chapter in my life and transition from the transportation industry to the real estate industry.  

Things were going smoothly for the first 4 months or so.

Once you have built a successful wholesaling business you can naturally transition to other strategies. 

Real Estate investor, started off flipping short sales and gradually transition in to renovation flips as the market started to shift. looking to network and learn, I am definitely more interested in building long term wealth and holding properties. hopefully i can be a resource and also learn from others!

If I get it sparkling clean quickly, attract a great pool, show it smoothly... 

We shouldn't focus too much on the performance of individual units so long as we have enough dials to turn at a high level to meet our return requirements during this (hypothetical) period of transition.  4) Accessibility of financing and the movement of institutional funds to other markets. 

I do take into account, schools, shopping centers locations, what kind of transit is close by or not, and who is my end buyer going to be.Wishing you luck!

Back then, I was transitioning from the Marine Corps into the civilian life and planning on attending college.

It takes a great investor to smoothly unwind a bad deal (but we only like to brag about the good ones) so kudos to you.
