I suggest beginning with turnkey rentals as you build connections and confidence.

After some rentals, flips and wholesale deals I landed on private money lending.

Also, look at job growth in your target areas, new jobs usually mean a strong rental market.

If you go on rentometer, zillow, or FB market in areas like Murray Hill, 32211, or other zip codes mentioned above, you will get a feel for rental comps

Economists:It is said that there are 4 phases of a real estate cycle: (1) RECESSION (supply greatly exceeds demand and high vacancy rate); (2) RECOVERY (rental growth remains stagnant with little signs of new construction but the economy feels like it is headed in right direction); (3) EXPANSION (job growth is strong and increased demand for housing. 

Dan Liao They are investors who buy rentals as well as manage and manage for others.

I haven't been back since 2018.I pay my neighbors to show my rentals for me.

I’m assuming you look at a rental track record for the investment property, but that’s not steady like a paycheck.

I am on the same boat and looking for a LTR (long term rental) in Hagerstown with steady cash flow.

I want to build my way there through rentals and as time progresses, I plan on building multiple other streams of income down the road outside of realestate.
