I’ve been starting my research by seeing what is being bought and what is on the market, and live nearby so would like to check out neighborhoods, but am wondering which neighborhoods I should invest in?

Thanks Scott, ill check with Schwab.

You can also check meetup.com or search Facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.1.

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

Another way is to check out this website.

I use my license for multiple activities: Of course- comps, when buying and when selling, tax data- to see what I am about to pay when i own the home ( for long term holdings), check the DOM (days on the market) for the subdivision I am either buying on, or when I plan on selling, etc. 

If you buy to rent, you can probably do this within six months if you have work lined up and getting pay checks.

It’s a business account and I just checked, paying 3.95%, more than my personal one!

If the tenants don’t leave by the deadline, your next step would be to check your state’s landlord-tenant laws to understand the eviction process.

I tend to agree that we could be over leveraging ourselves and your comments are a good reality check but I did not paint the whole picture.
