Being about an hour away from Greenville (and hearing great things from friends who have lived there in the past) I am curious how the market is looking.

We live in Pennsylvania, and we are both licensed realtors here.

@Jyothi Jagannathaninvest wherever you live

Where I live in Lake Tahoe, Nevada there are HOA associations have been poorly run, multiple insurance claims from snow damage, and as a result are increasing fees to cover the low fees of the past and capital expenditures that have been put off for years. 

Most of our rentals have central air conditioning, multiple baths, and garages, often two car. 

@Bruce WoodruffYou can book hotels, planes, rental cars, etc.  

HI Erias,You can always start off by house hacking meaning you live in one UNIT or ROOM and renting out the other vacant units/rooms to offset your monthly mortgage payment.There are several ways to run and make sure you are maximizing your rental income while keeping your living expense as low as possible.

The cost of living is extremely low compared to other cities and you can still many many positive cash flowing and 1% deals here.

The short version: Looks like you live in Allentown, so invest there.  

I've never done a course, but I always had trust issues on these type of things.I am Canadian, I live in Toronto.
