I agree with Ali Boone that you need to have a good team or an active investor to partner with to ensure your investments achieving the desired output.

IMO, you best bet is to define your goals, objectives, liquidity constraints, budget and time commitment (how active or passive you'd like to be).

.,) amount of time you can commit, and if you are looking for active income or passive income.

And I made the mistake of not following up consistently on annual treatments/termite inspections.Years go by and upon a normal township inspection, the inspectors found there were active termites in there.

This particular tenant is no my favorite as he also doesn't appear to work and hangs out all the time drinking, however, his rent has been on time like clock work.

It's always good to connect with others in the area that are active on here and in the market.

That's why I believe the best, most reliable resource in any market is the community of active investors/landlords/wholesalers operating within that market.When I need to get caught up on a new market, I search right here on BiggerPockets for members operating there and ask for their help.

I'm very active in the market in many different ways and would be happy to discuss with you.

Check the active and sold listings from these sites at least once a week.
