I do not have many resources, but I am comfortable taking some risk and relying on my intelligence and research.

This is not one of them from my recollection.I know this does not assist but what I would say is continue to do research on them.

I am just about to start researching this.   

Do some research before posting any restrictions.Also +1 on the inspection nuissance, in a pristine place the inspectors always "found" something. 

Isaiah, I would suggest starting out with doing some research on some of the available platforms like AirDNA.

Research ways to use your education to help you qualify for a loan (did you know that some lenders allow college credits that translate directly to the line of work the graduate pursues to count towards work experience, accelerating the borrower's opportunity to get approved for a mortgage?). 

Lots of research first through Zillow , real estate agent, and family members led us to Queen Creek and New home constructions.

You would need to some your research and decide which route suits you best. 

So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!
