Purchase price: $244,000 Cash invested: $244,510 Nice income producing property in a growing area.

Look for a high producer, say 30-50 deals a year.

I've been leaning towards KW Ballantyne area but have recently discovered eXp Realty and studied their model and am pretty torn.Both seem like great options however being a hands on learner I feel like having the office environment with warm bodies to engage with will be beneficial for me personally. 

Acquire in one producing assets as fast as you safely can

That will likely produce little result.

To my understanding, AirBnB can produce great returns but it has two problems.

Your local MLS should have a report of top producing agents and brokerages.

@Scott KimberlyThe good news is that the underwriting on larger deals tend to rely on numbers that are a bit more sound and have a longer track record (larger units are almost always operated & sold like a business, so good records are easier to produce).

Most of the manufacturers you can only use their thermostat and their "smart" thermostats aren't typically that great.Pay attention to condensate (the water produced by the units inside and out).

I'd suggest doing minimum payment on the student loans and doing everything you can to get into an investment property now, except in 2 cases:You are buying a non-income producing property - A personal residence is not as much of an asset as many would have you believe.
