I've been debating on getting my real estate license but I get such different advice from everyone.

Personally, I wouldn't mind it if someone asked...now if it was demanding and/or continuously asking for things, that's a different story and can be annoying whether neighbor or tenant.

Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

Keep in mind that if you register your company in a different state than you are doing business in, you most likely will need to register as a "foreign entity" in the state you are doing business in.

Each states laws and procedures for tax deed sales are different and you need to understand the process. 

I don't see a different way for current entry level folks to afford a house. 

And most tenants will not hire a pro painter, but just do it themselves.....Not priming over old trim, sloppy paint, drips, etc...will just cost you much more to fix when they move out.Using a Licensed or professional painter that they pay for would be a different matter, then I wouldn't mind.

Class B typically cashflows from purchase or within a year or so.Class C typically cashflow well from purchase, but has tenant performance challenges.Read copy & paste info below:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

I do not have any 1 BR STRs/MTRs but I have seen annual STR rents based on bedroom count in both my market (San Diego) and emerald coast (one of the markets I have made offers) and the difference in the income is substantial between 2 BR and 1 BR.  

You're conflating CapEx and maintenance in a couple of these which makes a difference when it comes to underwriting deals.
