I am looking to get my first rental property under my belt and begin to fulfill my goal of 30-50 properties in the next 25 years.

You have lots of experience in your belt!

Just looking to get the first one under my belt, then work my way up! 

Honestly right now I am eager to get my first deal under my belt and am not so much concerned about making great cash flow on my units as I am actually getting my first deal done.

You will learn what it is like to be a Land Lord and you will have a property under your belt that could potentially pay for itself if done right.I am doing this now, let me know if you have any questions!

When a property is built the wrong way and in the wrong location it is bound to have problems no matter the asset class.I have seen plenty of properties where I scratch my head and cannot believe someone bought that or built it.People not interested in retail it's fine to focus on other asset classes just do not make blanket statements as someone on the outside not an expert in the asset class.In the southeast and the warm belt states growth is incredible.

Now that I have my finance degree, and tons of carpentry and labor oriented work under my belt, I started looking for small reliable real estate companies to apply to.

Cost was around $8k for them to essentially gut most of the lower level, remove all sheetrock and insulation, and dry out the lower unit with blowers and a type of humidity vacuum. 

I have a few years experience as a landlord in the Triangle under my belt, but I'm looking to expand on the wholesaling level of my career.
