Happy to talk with you about the Oklahoma City market if that's an area you want to explore at any point. 

What markets are you exploring? 

If you want to run your own deals, you might consider finding a boots-on-the-ground partner with a good reputation and pool capital with them to fund their deals.Dan Handford raises capital for his own deals, and @Paul Moore is more like a fund-of-funds that raises capital from passive investors to deploy with sponsors.

Being that I have no real experience with real estate I am also interested in exploring pretty much any other method of real estate investing.

I had built a good reputation for myself over the years.

Looking for reputable property management company in the surrounding area of Lakeland and Winter Heaven, FL for 15 units Multi-Family.

Attorney time.Make sure the person is reputable and experienced obviously.   

Here, student rentals are heavily dependent on who you know and your reputation. 

I have another one in Austin that I am exploring options to tap the equity and 1031 is always an option.
