Hello, I have my first property and plan to add 2-6 properties this year and additional each year....I have started using RentRedi and I am finding it a bit clunky and also dislike the spam they toss at anyone who creates an account (which starts at prequalifying).

Congrats on tackling those 2 rentals.

I have never found something that I have wanted to truly and desperately pursue until now and have been absolutely addicted to soaking in as much information as I can.I've been knocking out blogs and forum threads whenever I even have a little bit of extra time and have gone as far as sneaking wireless earbuds under my beanie so that I can listen to 3-4 podcast during my work hours.I've been slowly looking at my local market and analyzing a few deals and always fantasizing about ways of how I could make it work to possibly acquire them at that current moment, but there are some obstacles I need to push through first.I have a balance of a couple grand on some credit cards(no missed payments) that I've been rapidly trying to tackle as this is my first step into opening more possible options of an early purchase even if I may not have a downpayment stocked up.Before, my initial plan was to keep on learning and educating myself with as much information that I could while saving up enough cash in order for me to be ready to house hack a property by the beginning of next year, but as I've started to learn more and more, I can't help but want to get into the process as soon as I can.I'm only 20 so technically I do have a lot of time to prepare, but I still feel as though I'm behind just because of how fast real estate investing is growing and in a time where markets are already hot.Maybe it's just reassurance that I need to hear that "I will be okay" even if I were to join the game a year later.

Don’t build the Taj Mahal in Miami Gardens because you are not going to get Taj Mahal buyers or Taj Mahal money.I was so broken by this expensive proposal that I decided I could tackle some of the fixes myself and just hire these guys or another GC, for the tasks that absolutely required a license.

(We had lumber quote go from $8k up to nearly $14k in a spam of a few months!) 

Don't tackle a job you don't know even if the owners say "It's ok".

I'm on a fair few wholesalers lists and only ever get the same properties I can buy off the MLS that they are spamming me.

If they've got the manpower and machinery to tackle the job quickly, I'd definitely say it's worth the cost. 

@Austin Hughes Make sure its not going to their spam folder.

They can help you develop a budget and a plan on how to tackle this issue.
