At least I am drawing my conclusion from my knowledge of algorithm, higher education and real estate experience on top of handling thousands of guests and residents with my own hands. 

However, I find I usually have to do a little more education or hand-holding up-front with them (because there can be a lot of things they don't know- whether it's about how Airbnb / VRBO work or what the rental process is like). 

Education is a great goal to start with as you look to purchase your first investment property.

My suggestion is to continue being active on BP, get out to some networking events and seminars and also educate yourself through books and podcasts. 

Bigger Pockets is a great place for education and networking. 

I recommend educating yourself as best you can to avoid some common mistakes.

Memphis has a diversified economy, with major players in logistics (FedEx, UPS), healthcare (the Med District), and education (University of Memphis, Rhodes College).

Quote from @Sunil Kale:I have multiple grounds for eviction (many late payments, many HOA violations etc.)Please get some education on how to manage a property or hire a property manager.  

Please educate yourself, and not just from an internet forum. 

I love real estate and the Richmond, VA area, which is why I wish to pursue a career that can educate me on how I can invest in real estate in the future in Richmond.
