Hi @Ken Almira - once you have narrowed your market, make sure you build a team from the start so you'll get the best education in that particular area.

There's a reason that people try to buy properties off-market and that is because you can find sellers who care more about terms than maximizing returns.So start with a conversation: you already presumably have some rapport since it's your landlord and you've spoken before.

I am just herring started  

It's a great time to get started.
