I've recently been having a lot of extra free time and decided to invest all of it into learning more about real estate and investments in real estate.

Outside of real estate, I enjoy working on my other business and learning to fly.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

I’m here to connect and learn from everyone in the industry and hope to make a better deal on the next property as my first purchase was a new build.

If anyone learns more about the accuracy of the paid plans then I would be interested to hear about it. 

Looking to learn from the community on how to best maximize each as well as dive into the STR market.

If you don't you need to learn how to be a landlord real fast, get out of the rental business or turn over the property to a property manager.

Everything I have read and learned says to pay off credit cards on time and to a zero balance since that is the point of credit and how you show you are financially responsible.

However, I’m also contemplating learning the flipping business, either by working with a flipper or trying it myself, to generate a larger cash position.I’m open to the idea of out-of-state investing but would approach it conservatively.

@Lloyd PreeceRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

However if they do and they have an attorney, you very well might lose and learn some lessons from the opposing counsel or the JP or both.
