If you’re lucky maybe @Michael Plaks will weigh in. I

ALL IN is the way to go if you can.

The house is currently vacant as I'm doing some repairs and posting ads to get tenant in. I

I've been researching on notes specifically for about a year so it's time to jump in. I

What hotels do you stay in? I

As others have said above the thing that I think they will be most helpful in is keeping you updated with the changing laws and local ordinances. 

What cities do you guys recommend I start in? I

I dug in and it took time, I consulted multiple attorneys very experienced in this field, read the statutes many times, learned some things the hard way unfortunately, but after about 5 years in I got my first property and quit claimed it to the neighbor for 20K, next year similar situation, 18K to another neighbor.

Thank you all for chiming in.  I
