Most people focus on cash flow, and while that's nice, it doesn't build wealth.

I updated the electrical, painted everything, and “cleaned the property up nicely” exterior and interior.

when you get to the rust belt and mid west no real need for it in a big way when you can still buy nice SFRs for 150 to 300k all day long.

Hey Kolby, Nice to meet you!

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

New construction, townhome style or even small simple house style - coupled with nice neighborhood amenities, and in a good school zone 

Nice to see a thorough review of one of these courses. 

You might also meet title agents who have resources on, say, foreclosures or probates…and might recommend lenders who actually lend on more difficult projects (as the title companies also know which lenders can close and which are difficult).I also go visit open houses to see what sorts of finish to put on my renovations or to look for the next house or area in which to purchase.  

However, a multifamily purchase could work quite nicely. 

You have a very nicely thought out plan and once you get the CORE 4 you are in great shape!!
