Sounds like strategy call would make most sense to see what your goals are with REI and being an agent to determine if the organization I represent aligns with the direction you are looking to go. 

@Michael Clardy Your decision should focus on tax efficiency and long-term financial goals.

Once you're ready, create a goal (e.g., "I will buy at least one single-family home, duplex, triplex, or fourplex before the end of 2019") and then do it.

I'm currently with an investment brokerage but my end goal is to be an investor and feel the big shoes my parents are leaving me with! 

Thank you again for the guidance—it’s really helping me build a clearer strategy for reaching my goals! 

Would love to hear more about your goals and exchange ideas!

Most importantly, choose a market that aligns with your goals!

Thanks for your response Bill.My goal is to simply prevent them from losing the farm.

To be clear my goal isn't to have a bunch of cash flow Y1 but just looking to break even.2) How could I go about finding markets where MHP are more beginning investor friendly?

Quote from @Matthew Becker: My goal is always cash flow the first year.
