Keep saving!

A great way to get started figuring out WHAT those questions are is by reading through this free guide "The Bigger Pockets Ultimate Beginner's Guide": https://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investin....

I've read the Ultimate Beginner's Guide and continue to read blogs as able during my commute. 

Should I go ahead and invest in my local market or save to try and invest in a much higher priced market in Colorado once I get back? 

Here we have 'leave live' agreements with the utility to keep the power on between tenants.The few bucks saved by not having power in your name for a little while can cost much more apparently.I would run the dehumidifier a couple days and revisit the issue with your tenant.  

Have a reserve account to save up for those that comes from the positive cash flow.  

Ultimately , I leaned more towards the multifamily and notes discussions, however there were many more great topics to choose from such as syndication, increasing cash flow, and even big profits with tiny houses.

So ultimately I need to be half owner of the property, and have the controlling stake/decision making power for the entire project. 

Definitely check out the Ultimate Beginner's Guide and all the other educational stuff BP has to offer.  

At first I was thinking that I would wait until I payed off my student loans to start investing, but now I'm thinking I may try and purchase some cash flowing properties to help cover my student loan payments so I can use my income to save for more.
