@Andrew JohnsonI have heard that you should look at the geographic area before investing heavily into the area.

It depends heavily on your starting point, and everyone starts at a different point. 

If it were me, I'd want to see some pro-forma's or other numbers on paper that could be heavily scrutinized. 

I would put a picture on your profile, include a lot of info on your profile page and network heavily on bigger pockets.

Heavily populated?

I wouldn't think FHA would even lend to you when your income is mostly given to you by family, and I'd be surprised if you would be able to manage a property without their opinion weighing heavily on every choice you have to make.

I have to be honest and say that since these properties have been middle of the road as far as investments I have been leaning heavily on my personal savings / income to solve "problems" as they occur.

Now just let it sit and AGE until you are ready to invest heavily in the website.  

Richest Man in Babylon - ClasonMillionaire Next Door - Stanley, Danko There's a podcast called The Kickass Life with David wood that deals heavily with changing mindsets and taking action.

Yes, and I'm glad you didn't, I'm also afraid that most "mentors" won't have a clue either and that poor guy with a law degree will likely get in over his head unless he has experience in financing.Just saying too, that when I was dealing heavily in seller financed transactions, most of my transactions involved fixing deals that had been done.
