It makes total sense that you are able to optimize when you are niched down so well...it's been super hard for me personally to lean into the niches because it's honestly a bit counterintuitive and scary. 

If I were forced to pick, I’d lean towards purchasing two properties to diversify and spread the risk while potentially increasing your overall cash flow.

I’ve been leaning on the oilfields to make my first 100k and then start out with real estate investing .

Local rents are only $1800-$2000 but the area is up and coming and is conveniently located.

If your area has a good long-term rental outlook and you have the patience to deal with tenant issues, this could be a smart move.I’d lean slightly toward renting unless you’re getting strong signals that property values won’t appreciate or rents may decline.

@Danielle CamposIt was certainly a lot of sacrifice of convenience.

While convenient, it’s not necessary to pay that much unless you want the hands-off approach.Since you’ve already set up an LLC before, you can absolutely do it yourself again.

I live where I live for convenience and lifestyle.

That means I'm coordinating access to the home which is a pain.Start networking now to find some folks you can lean on and build that local network.

I didn't mind meeting them to sign these in person, considering I am doing showings myself as well, but am just limited on availability to mostly weekends due to aforementioned W2 job - figured an esignature option would be convenient to quickly send something out during working hours "in a pinch."
