Cameras would have helped too but it isn’t “that bad” of a neighborhood where my tenants requested them.Oh my favorite mistake...which I want to physically assault myself when I think about it...was also when I was younger and uneducated.

@Mitchell E Bauman,Since you posted in this particular forum, are you more interested in the physical real estate, or into the paper aspect?

The physical address is : 1704 14th St.

I work remotely, I'm not attached to any physical location and looking to start my real-estate investing journey by acquiring cash flowing multi-families (probably residential as opposed to commercial to begin with, with a possibility of house-hacking with an FHA loan).Currently I live in San Francisco (renting) and if I keep this up I'll probably need to sell one of my kidneys :-\I'm looking to move to a different market (don't care how far / hot / cold) to actually live in, get a true feel for it, research it from the inside out, specialize in it and most importantly operate locally.I've done a lot of "general" homework - watched a ton of podcasts, read many books and analyzed some online data so I know what areas people and experts are talking about and developed some opinions - but at the same time I know that market attractiveness is very dynamic and subjective.So if YOU were in my situation and had to choose one market that you believe will provide the best upside for cash flow TODAY - what is it?

It does NOT get 'stepped up' as the physical property would.

I am attending Rockhurst University in the Doctor of Physical Therapy program.

If you’re looking to own physical real estate yourself and not through syndications I would suggest triple net single tenant properties.

For me, I bought my first property (without even physically seeing it), with all my cash savings, via text message, and while laid off from a W2 job.

For real estate - my 90 day goal is to get through my current closing and get tenants in before the snow flies.I’ve also started making family oriented, spiritual, and physical 90 day goals!

It will involve the sheriff if you succeed because he has to physically remove the 'target'.
