I'd also keep this in mind.For health insurance- I'd recommend having a chat with your accountant who can help you compare actual numbers and benefits vs. the theoretical which we are talking about here.Retirement Plans: This is a much smaller hurdle to jump over.

You could use the BP calculator (5 times for free membership) or find some available online for free.The most important thing that is going to get you ahead: commit to do 1 thing at least every day that is going to get you closer to your goal of acquiring and creating wealth through real estate: read, analyze, go to open house....Hope that helps.Good Luck

I have googled and found several online, but nothing with actual reviews from users/investors.

I’m looking for a place online to get my real estate license in Tennessee  .

Online or through a realtor?

I can't find anything online that lays out when a property should be considered residential v. commercial.

I know gaining trust is a key factor in making them feel comfortable with their investment, but again it is more difficult for someone to feel comfortable with you when you have only met via video chat. 

My husband (@Sam Wilson) and I will be traveling from Vancouver to Calgary via Banff (and a few other places along the way) from May 1-12We'd love to meet up with other investors for a coffee or a drink - especially if you are interested in investing in the Memphis market or just want to chat about REI in general.Message me if you are interested (where you are and when is good to meet).

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

And if you didn't have someone you could trust to do the management in either place you probably still would have lost money.So, if I were you, I would pick several markets with good job and population growth and begin to research them and talk to the realtors and property managers in the area.One of them will likely reveal itself to you to be the right place for you.But definitely don't listen to a bunch of yahoos online :)
