I went to UM for law school, so a little familiar :) I still do FL RE work too.I like anything working class, so you can look inland or Doral or Hialeah? 

Are there a wide range of renters there (Class A?

@Tyler Stone if you can't find someone to hang your license with, I would not view the time you spent on the salesperson courses as a waste/mistake.I often recommend to new investors that they consider sitting through all the pre-license courses (even if they don't ultimately take the exam) as they're a great education and introduction to real estate, and very affordable compared to the information gained.I also tell them that since literally anyone can become a real estate agent, the class (especially an in-person class) can have some... colorful characters🤣Even if you never become an active agent, it's a very good set of introductory knowledge about real estate, and it's also very helpful to know when dealing with agents in the future - as you almost certainly will at some point.

Too many cooks in the kitchen hardly ever works out in the long run.

These properties were located in A or B+ Class areas and targeted young professionals.

We put a fridge in the living room and they cooked with a microwave.

Depending on goals, asset class type, business plan you can determine the best deal by filtering up and down these scales.

Owen,Here are my 2 cents, for the cost I don't like it because it still needs more work (which isn't the main issue for me but still a negative) and it's in a C class community which I don't like for something that will run for over 1M.

The networking with other investors and REI classes to help you get started are a whole lot cheaper than the Rich Dad training they offer. 

If you are investing in D class housing, yes, that's likely going to happen.
