I am a 27 year old, born and raised in the metro Detroit area of Michigan, a former collegiate gymnast at EMU and Pitt, a current Manager of a CS team at a highly functional Sports Tech company, AND (most importantly) I am officially a new homeowner as of today!

If you can handle a high-intensity environment (many times without adequate staffing) like an ICU, you can handle RE investing.

I too echo the sentiment about the high turnover rate.

I highly stress education. 

I wonder if these are like pay day loans super high interest.. does anyone know what the interest rate is.. that could be the play.. be the lender on these deals :)

If you do not show income, or have a high amount of debt, you may need to consider DSCR financing. 

If you do add pets to the lease, I HIGHLY recommend a non refundable pet deposit.

About 2 weeks ago, we've decided to hold 99% of our Acquisitions local to the Charlotte area due to the High Growth this area is experiencing.

You are on the complete right path....educate, network, and take action...I'd also highly recommend getting to all the in-person meetup possible - then make sure to be-friend the host!

Starting my wholesale journey right now :)I have some experience in buying real estate for rentals and flips.As a rule I made for myself, I won't work in areas where I know crime levels are high and are generally low income areas, becasue I know how hard it is to sell them (if its a fix & flips) or rent them.Nowadays I'm looking into starting my wholesale business and was curious about that...Does it matter for the cash buyers?
