No..That just boils my blood.They screw up the walls, and move out a short while later.And usually, they have no taste.

For a taste of real nationalization you would have to be a foreign investor in Cuba, Chile, Columbia, Mexico, Venezuela during their respective revolutions.  

This will allow you to take advantage of cashflow, taste landlord life and not put much of your own funds at risk for your education.If you could get good at this and scale it has a couple of benefits.1.

I prefer houses around the 100-150k ARV mark and Frisco is too high end for my tastes in that sense.It sounds like you are buying cash?  

These are questions that would affect my answer.I would not suggest a new build for a new investor with no building experience, starting with a good rehab will give you a taste of what is involved. 

It may not seem like a lot to a lot of people here, but it was my first taste of 'freedom.'

In California, plan to hunker down for a long while.It's not legal and I would never suggest it, but wouldn't it be fun to hire a dozen homeless people or rowdy teens to squat in the property and give these sellers a taste of their own medicine?

Thats just stupid.Also, you have never even tasted SEO, yet you say things as if you have tried it all.

., now you got a taste of what is over the fence and now this will be on your mind the next few times you spend $4000 and make no deals!

I am a rather new investor and i  currently own a duplex in what i would consider a more expensive market 250+, (I know there are more expensive markets out there but this felt expensive for my tastes with little equity) My duplex currently rents out on one side which covers a large percentage of the mortgage and i am house hacking on the other side.
