Thank you for time and reply. 

@Dave Foster Super insightful.

@Leslie L Meneus you are trying to find a tribe of super freaks.Let me explain…Only 6% of Americans own one or more rental property.  

Any tips on finding reliable professionals in my area?

That’s what I call a reply!

Some solid areas to look at are:Riverside, Avondale, Murray Hill, San Marco, San Jose, Orange Park, southern part of west side, east Arlington, pockets of the Northside.I’m on my phone so a little tough to go in great detail, but you can message me and we can find a time to chat if you’re interested.Chris - thanks for the reply.

Does anyone have any tips or software tools to help give estimates on pricing and the potential occupancy of the rental?

@Sam HendricksenMultifamily is super competitive in this area and you have a huge advantage over your "competition" with the fact that you are owner occupying as most deals nowadays hardly cash flow. 

.- Background: Took some real estate classes before but really a lot of self learning on creative financing - Current Goal:To close my first wholesale deal within the next few months by learning from seasoned investors and applying proven strategies.I'm here to absorb as much knowledge as possible, so if you have any tips or resources, I’m all ears!

AI replies and posts are annoying but hard to maintain/control those.
