@Chanelle Dupre  From a macro level most people start with sfr (single family residences) rentals because they're familiar and affordable but as their portfolio grows servicing and managing houses scattered across a metro or worse, across several markets involves a larger and larger amount of travel and that takes a toll on returns, peace of mind and family.

We did just start a Central Jersey group though for those looking not to travel quite as far.

My husband and I both travel and we stay in corporate america (soul sucking world that it is) because getting loans and credit with our work history/income is so easy.
