When choosing tenants (I am in California), it's important to avoid even the appearance of discrimination, especially during in-person meetings.

A cheap place to get to and stay, with good weather and plenty to do, especially for spouses/family that may be less interested in real estate. 

I'm new to investing in rental properties and I live in one of the most expensive markets in CA. 

Metro Detroit has what 99% of Real Estate Investors want.

I'm looking to liquidate my modest real estate portfolio in the PNW via a 1031 exchange and move into a high-yield tertiary market.

I both personally invest in real estate and help others gets started/expand their portfolios in various Midwest/midsouth markets.What I do with my kids: My wife and I have 2 of our rentals that are on the same street, with a home in between them.

You might want to join local real estate investment groups or attend meetups in the area.

Quote from @Tiffany McKinney: HelloI am in search of a real estate attorney in Houston, TX.

Hello, my name is Edwin, and I am seeking to connect with a real estate team as I embark on my new journey in the real estate industry.

And I'd acknowledge they're riding the line of what is and what is not acting as a real estate without a license (and doing net sales which are illegal for agents).I think the argument doesn't work because even if you banned wholesaling, people could still do simultaneously closings, which are just about the same, just a little more expensive.
