Listen to your gutYes, you can hire a realtor but don't turn it over to them as most don't have experience in qualifying tenants. 

I recommend listening to podcasts instead of the radio.  

Not super familiar with the forums, I am mostly just a listener of the podcast and starting off on doing my research.

I'll listen to it in between listening to Brandon's new 2 volume book The Multi-Family Millionaire.

I'd suggest looking up the Active Duty Passive Income guys and listening to their content

Mostly all of my free time is spent listening to BP podcasts, lurking in the forums, and analyzing deals in my market.

Right now I am working an overnight job which allows me to listen to hours of BP podcasts.

I started educate myself in real estate, and personal development by listening to podcasts and audio books.

I'm so happy I listened to the Beard and was okay with hitting a base hit on my first deal!

While I’m new to the REI arena, I believe I have a good grasp of the RE lingo/ terms as I have spent the last couple of months reading, listening to podcasts, watching YouTube videos, taking notes, building a plan of action.
