I've spoke to a few PMs but would like to speak to a variety of them to get a good feel of who's I'd like to get into this with. 

Fortunately car price inflation has been moderate in the intervening years, and there are a wide variety of cars, trucks, and SUVs available to lease for $350 or less. 

I wasn't a big fan of multifamily there for a variety of reasons, so I moved to Houston, TX, which is a little more welcoming for newer MUltifamily Investors than Austin or ay DFW where all the "big boys" are.

You mentioned a wide variety of interests - so my suggestion is to focus on one or two that really resonate with you and dive in.

Lenders like to see a variety and multiple active lines of credit.

These same groups are targeted by buy and hold investors, fix and flip investors, and real estate agents, as well as wholesalers, and a wide variety of people with no idea what their doing or how to close a deal but who just completed a weekend training seminar and are as high on excitement as they are lacking in knowledge.What it takes to enter the wholesaling business and make it profitable enough so that you aren’t working for less than fast food wages, is, besides knowledge, salesmanship, persistence, etc …MONEY.

Most of the ones I see really aren't any different one from the other.The acid is test is how well you were able to monetize the material you received and quickly. 

While there is not the variety of amenities that most people from an urban area would enjoy and deem necessary, such as dining or shopping, those living in smaller communities look for different aspects.
