This one, we just closed on 2 months ago, so I'm confident I can work that cash flow up a bit higher.

That said, although I am currently living in Boston, I am looking to invest elsewhere in the near future - either by moving out west (I have been toying with the idea of moving to Denver or Salt Lake City for the past couple of years), or by leveraging my new found confidence in investing remotely thanks to David Greene and his book.I have become passionate about real estate and personal finance and I am serious about making this a lifestyle.

I would preferably create one when you're confident enough to start submitting LOIs / Offers on properties.From this quick overview, any suggestions on what I should be doing now/next to achieve my longterm goal?  

Your tools, expertise, forums and podcasts gave me the knowledge and the confidence to start. 

But if you keep an open mind, I'm confident it'll make sense.First what are the main skills you'll need, or need to develop, to be successful, whether you're remodeling to rent or flip?  

What can I be doing to increase my knowledge and begin to feel more confident in finding my first rental property?

Im confident in my future of being a successful investor however we all gotta start somewhere!

Educate yourself to the point of reasonable confidence then make the move.

I am confident we will find him the right property.

We never used the shower in the 5 years we lived there and I am fairly confident the tenant before them (1.5 years) didn't use the shower either-we used Bathroom #1.
