Vancouver WA I5 Corridor from Eugene, OR to Centralia, WA Huntsville, AL Phoenix, AZ Las Vegas, NV Houston, TXWe are also exploring all sort of Buy and Hold/BRRRR properties from SFR to Small Apartment Complexes.

I also like @Darius Ogloza's suggestion of seller financing - have you explored that option?  

After exploring a few listings you will begin to read the nice photos/descriptions more critically and hone in on what you really want/fits your goals.

As a result we decided to offer the other existing tenants a one year lease at their current rent they have been paying (roughly $125/month below market rents).Each situation is unique, but hope this helpsBest,Ryan

Hey Michael, i own and run a marketing agency and for me personally, when i see real estate experience, i automatically give the person a boost in the application/interviewing phase. for me it's just an experience we share so i'd like to talk about it or know in the future we could. so i guess i'm saying unless there is a reason not to put it on your resume i would. i shows responsibility in other areas plus additional skills, and you just never know what might make you different or unique when applying to a position. 

I'm pretty sure I've explained before why Detroit PM's are so terrible (spoiler: low rents and unique challenges = 2x or more the work of most markets for the same revenue).

;)   Real Estate has a ton of areas to invest and work within so it's great you are getting started now exploring the industry.

There are definitely lenders and agents that deal more specifically in foreclosures, because there are unique aspects to buying encumbered property.

I'm looking forward to exploring all of these resources! 

I think I need to bite the bullet and start exploring outside my local market
