Thanks for all the helpful info.

I also have lots of connections all over the nation to help.

As for the areas to target, my goal in getting our feet wet as real estate investors--and since we plan to be living in Sac--is to find a property we can live in while renting out one or more units to help cover our housing expenses, which we can then hold and continue to rent out when we move.

If you ever need help running numbers or managing your property. 

You could always extend if needed, but you have options.Happy to discuss offline if that is helpful. 

If you need to close quickly I can help!

Happy to help. 

There are spreadsheets that can help (I do not have one).  

This is a fantastic group of supportive people who are always eager to help and see you succeed.Best of luck! 

I'm open to network with anyone with comments, advice, or knowledge that they feel would be helpful.
