@Tomas FalconWelcome to the community and be ready for a huge amount of information at your finger tips.

I have just read through the four years of this thread and found some great tips, thank you to the OP @Thomas Youngman and all the content others have provided.

Last night, I heard an inspiring story about a mom who brought her young kids along for a 45-minute drive to tour an investment property.

One tip is too is reaching out to some people in your market place that are doing flips and see if they can send you their spreadsheet they are using.

Class D is mostly rentals (another tip to look at owner occupied stats and/or if the neighborhood is identified for revitalization), the tenants are outside smoking, they are talking to neighbors and solicitors, it is a completely different vibe that is pretty noticeable just driving through.

@Allison ParkTwo pro tips to share.1.

I've noticed some really extreme discrepancies between renting and potential mortgage payments which make me hesitant to buy a primary residence.My wife wants to move around 56 (not too far from the ocean), which I don't mind because it seems they have great school districts and we have young kids. 

Any tips would be greatly appreciated! 

I am very excited and nervous to start my investing journey and wanted to come onto the forums to ask for any tips or guidance before I jump in. 

Any tips on how to maximize my time on this platform are greatly appreciated!
