You need to save money, learn and network.

You should jump into the weeds as long as you have a few exit strategies, know the market, have a stable 9-5, and emergency savings.

As a student without W2 income, you may need to show alternative income sources like savings, freelance work, or a job offer.

Neither of which is happening with these out of state investors who believe section 8 is there path to early retirement. 

Eliminate debt, establish a budget, and save.

For example, my appliance store gives me a 10% discount, so I charge a 5% markup to my owners to make a little money and the owner still saves 5% from retail. 

Hello @Yooni Choi,While managing an out-of-state rental property yourself might seem like a money-saving strategy, the reality is much more complex.

You can save a lot on costs if you do many repairs yourself.Look into hard money lenders or private lenders for the initial purchase and rehab.Connect with wholesalers, agents specializing in investment properties, and other BRRRR investors to find deals and learn more.

For that and time saved setting that up ourselves, PCS was worth the cost for us. 

It is a tough market and there's nothing wrong with taking a breather and waiting for things to stabilize while focusing on savings and education.
