I wouldn't get hung up on that metric if you can find a property in an appreciating market that is at least cash-flow neutral.As a Realtor, I try to keep an eye out on forums and make connections with wholesalers to find off-market properties. 

If you're proceeding, it's probably best to connect to an agent who has sold the most houses recently in the area.

This has always been a massive dream/goal of mine to pursue, so the fact that it is now a time in my life that I can, I am ready to dive into this business, and see all that it has to offer.Thanks for reading, and I look forward to connecting in the BiggerPockets world here soon!

Make connections with nearby real estate brokers and investors to learn about the market.

I believe Philadelphia is a great market to invest in, especially if you already have connections in the area.

Happy to connect with you and chat about the Nashville market / point you towards experts in the area who can help you out

Happy to hop on a quick call and connect you to the appropriate people.

Thanks for connecting - It's nice to meet others who are new at this as well. 

Happy to connect and knowledge share.

Hey,My name is Daniel Angelino and I recently bought a home in Chapel Hill.I moved to North Carolina almost two years ago from Pennsylvania where I have some properties.I would love to connect with other investors around NC to better understand the market, learn, and start to build a team here.I am looking for different meet ups/events in the Raleigh area to network.
