So, hence my interest in trying to buy the redemption rights to anticipate the settlement of the deed.

Making the connection in person is completely different from an online interaction.

I listed the properties, and over the course of 4 months sold 4 of the 5 utilizing the contacts I made at interacting with automotive shop owners.

I owned over 200 homes in south Jackson all Section 8 I had ZERO men as my tenants 100% single moms.. while I would love them to buy homes my interaction with them is the majority or 2nd 3rd generation welfare and really have ( as you rightly noted) no real sense on finances other than how to get the handouts how to work their cells phone etc etc.

Environment issues, are there any Wetlands on my property, you can look up the national wetland interactive map https://www.fws.gov/program/national-wetlands-inventory/wetl...7.

They're great when you live at the property, but can then destroy your anticipated cashflow if / when you decide to move out and rent all units.- When house hacking, be sure to establish a good relationship with your tenants, but avoid "being friends".

When have you ever had a interaction with a government employee and thought to yourself, "wow, that was a great experience."

In just 24hrs of interacting I have learned and networked more than I have done within 3 months.

Check the in person events and meetups in your local area, our online community is full of knowledge and folks willing to share and still nothing replaces the opportunity to interact IRL, you never know who you will meet and where that can take you on your REI journey. 

I believe it- the market has absolutely exploded thanks to anticipation over Micron, but still has an overall low barrier to entry.
