@Christian Bors  so my main point is how many people getting started..  

I believe in keeping very strong communication with my tenants.  

You can start by reporting it on your Schedule E but you will be subject to taxes.

While I do help others find opportunities, I focus primarily on purchasing off-market properties myself.I began my real estate investing journey in 2019, starting with property tax sales (Tax Liens/Deeds), and have since built a strong foundation in identifying and acquiring valuable off-market properties.

It explains the team that you should develop to have a strong foundation under you while investing remotely.https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/core-four-real-estate-team

The one caveat I have about that area is that it is starting to be classified as a declining market.

i was exploring and saw some of the neighborhoods in kyle, Tx has school ratings like 8 and brand new houses in the range of 300K with potential rents at $2200 per month so overall making them cash flow positive. however, i am not sure why Kyle is a popular place. it is mid way between austin and san antonio but that does not seem to be a strong enough reason. 

Buyers agents may start to get more creative on the payment of their services by offering a la carte pricing, flat fees, and hourly services to better fit their buyers budgets. 

Some strategies are much easier than others, and it is much safer to start with these (househacking, buy and hold single families, etc..).

I wanted to start of house hacking and transition to using the BRRRR strategy.
