And slowly building over many years.Reminds of the old saying "You have to spend money, to make money"I know I lack alot of details here.

is this a long-term play or short term?   

 @Greg Abel I think it's important to consider the long-term, as changing property management software is difficult.

I've read numerous guides and watched many YouTube videos, so I have a good theoretical understanding, but I'm still unsure about the best way to start investing in U.S. real estate.My plan is to begin with long-term rental properties and then eventually move into flipping and the BRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) strategy.

I am interested to see if anyone else has invested in that zip code, and what they think long term values (5-10 years) will look like.

I’m torn between going the wholesaling route or sticking with long-term rentals. 

This would be for long term holding.

Let me know if you need any more details.
