Try to see if you wish to transition completely out of your w2 job or just to invest and or JV.

I am currently reading So Good They Can’t Ignore You by Cal Newport...I really like the idea of building career capital or the skills that make you valuable.I am currently an Army Officer with about a year left in the Service and I want to transition into the real estate industry while also doing my own investing.Besides real estate agent, what other ways can someone work in the real estate industry where they can build career capital to benefit their investing in the long run?

Homes are hardest to find in the urban core where people can live closer to work and transit.

It's hard to stand out.There are some owner-occupied segments with people who share motivating factors for selling their home.Seniors with Long-time Ownership: often ready to downsize or transition to assistance.Homeowners with Low Financial Stability Scores (FSS): Struggling financially and likely ready to cash in on their asset.Both these categories have additional advantages in that they probably don’t haven’t been updated and may have deferred maintenance.

We have transitioned from the military and we are using our VA loan to start.

I’m also curious if anyone has experience with transitioning units from boilers to furnace heat.Thanks!

Thats how I ended up bringing my house and a rental out of foreclosure and financing the transition to appraising.

I started in SFRs and have transitioned my portfolio to multifamily.

Some investors stick to manual processes when they only have a few units, but they should transition eventually.One thing to help would be having your own standard and sticking to it. 

Entire neighborhoods have transitioned beyond recognition, other neighborhoods are at various stages of transition and some areas do not change but may enjoy some appreciation due to the overall upward movement in this undervalued market.
