Sean, everything Pat said above. 1st you need to have a clear plan on what you’re going to do with the place.

So far I can think of:  - Using agency resources to get my RE license - Trying to make connections with agents who work with investors (as opposed to typical homebuyers)  - Learning the local market through osmosis/exposureAny ideas and/or insights would be well appreciated. 

Hello,I have an airbnb that has been doing considerably well in the Atlanta.

@Eddie PietschmannConsider the agent finder as well: https://www.biggerpockets.com/agent/matchI found my all star agent through there who connected me with contractors, PMs, etc.

I imagine DSTs initiated durning 2014-2017 did well, and those created the last 2 years…not so well.

Door knocking, cold calling, and other activities to get something that pencils well.

If you ever plan to remodel real estate it's invaluable.

Know what is market rate for rents as well as what section 8 pays.

Good due diligence includes a proper inspection before purchase along with the other elements of one's due diligence.Thanks for the remedy reminder as well.Investors selling property need to consider these things as well.

This is more of a theory and I think this would do well in college towns.Good luck!
