Hello good people of BiggerPockets.

This is a great place to learn and to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources.

I don't play around with other people's money.As for sticking to Gilbert or checking out other cities around Phoenix, I'm doing my best to look at every city. 

Network with purpose: Surround yourself with people already crushing it in multifamily—mentors and partners will accelerate your growth.

I've been in the lending Industry for 20 years, and I feel many people on BiggerPockets give misleading information a lot of times.

I know several people from California who have been purchasing a couple of duplexes in the Midwest each year.

Its easy to get wrapped up in wanted to learn everything, and it ends up in people losing sight in what their original goals were from the start. 

Would it be better to stay in San Antonio and network with people in San Antonio?

I would check and see how many 1 bed and 2 bed options there are and what they are priced at because most folks will prefer the full place to themselves so rooming 2 people together could make getting bookings a bit more difficult (not always the case but something to consider)

It will be remote, but since you live there now, you probably already have connections who either already know the house or local friends to find you good people to service things as needed.
