Just be smart in what you buy and how long you want to keep the properties, I'm a buy and hold investor.

But I have the same experience no one picks up live and no one returns the call or if they do its 5 days later and I can't remember who they are etc.What is totally missing on BP and many of other social sites is talk about specifics on how to actually follow up and sales skills   ( what do I say when someone calls and I am a nervous wreck getting my first call)  not just read from a script.. great salesmen will out perform the book smart most all the time.

Currently, I am trying to build my real estate IQ to make smart investments into some multi-family homes or possibly SFH in the near future.Beyond purchasing my primary residence I have no first hand experience on real estate investing and would love to learn more. 

@Chase Keller Congrats that sounds awesome, smart to begin to get your name out there get them familiar with you. 

Smart move to show your identical adjacent unit! 

Legal and smart tactical advice is what I need, because this is affecting my blood pressure, my work and state of mind.

Be smart and get really good at due diligence!

I have seen some people that I really enjoyed disappear from BP that were very smart.

Devices havn't moved much.

I think looking at BRRRR for condos and townhouses can be a very smart avenue.
