Or just stick with a good insurance policy

If so, why did you stick to the desktop version?

I had it in mind to stick to Pittsburgh and Allegheny County, but he found a place in Sharon (Mercer County) by the Case Elementary School District, which is supposedly top-notch and award winning.

That alone may be a determiner for whether he sticks with CA or goes out-of-state.

Stick to the suburbs.Plus, I have another caveat about Metro Detroit.  

I am new to real estate rental property investing.I currently own 1 property that I live in.I have been pre-approved for $600,000.00 with putting 20% down and that is my budget for my first investment venture.I am seeking your help to decide how I should diversify my $600k investment.My questions are:1) Should I diversify my investments in multiple states, e.g FL, TS, IN, or just stick to one state like FL, where we are expecting more appreciation.2) How should I diversify between single-family, duplex and fourplex?

You're a real estate agent, stick to what you know and not what you don't know.

However I do not have much experience with wholesaling/bird dogging, especially in such a uniqie market, and have not been able to get anything to stick for both parties.

From a business standpoint, I'd stick to your core business and do that really well.Getting into staging is a whole lot of work!
