Feel free to reach out to local investors or real estate professionals to ask questions and seek advice.

There are also lots of meetups where you can meet other investors - check out the events page if you haven't already.Feel free to DM with any questions!

As you look at different areas that you could invest be sure and look into the state & local laws, it's an important part of due diligence that is easy to overlook. 

$20K won't do much, but you might find a local, experienced investor that you trust to join forces with.

Or just one of the capital events along with the cash flow?  

We both realized we were jumping into this not as informed as we should be however, we could not gather enough local resources or partners to guide us so we are taking a chance. 

Send me a PM if you want me to do anything for you here locally. 

Most of the locals are friendly, nature-loving types that enjoy activities like hiking, camping, snowshoeing, and live bluegrass music.

Everyone here needs to understand that when a landlord refuses to keep their property repaired and is in violation of Local County Codes, it makes it tempting to find good rental property to move to, AND to report the property to Code Enforcement, which now I am planning on doing.
