That is a great amount to begin with, as Brie wisely stated be sure to streamline your approach and narrow your focus on what you want to do.If it were me I would pic a transitioning neighborhood that is on the upswing.

@James Wise The timing worked out for me where the tenants lease was up in May, and I did have my property manager give them a couple months notice that I was planning on selling.  

The plan would be to sell the side we are living in after 24 months to avoid capital gains taxes...then rinse and repeat in a different high rent area.Any advice from the many wise members here is greatly appreciated...Thanks a lot!

@Tim Wise, so wholesaling isnt a good way to break in the industy?

Either way, you definitely need to know what you are after investment-wise in order to find a good fit with a realtor. 

If you are wanting to maximize your profits it is wise to keep your money as long as you can.      

Good Morning BP,I work in a very small market, we meet no demographic requirements for any new/newer national tenants. We just got a Chipotle in the last 2 years! My question is- I have a relationship with a large REI...

Am I just stuck until I pay off my student loans, or are there wise ways to get cash flow started in the meantime? 

So this is just food for thought so I can make a wise decision.
