I am not an expert on this by any means.. there is a fellow in Indy his name escapes me  I think its Ken Myer or something like that.. who is big in this business and he might even have a educational arm to his business.. its probably worth the money to pay to have up front training before you step into this big of investment.I personally see this as buying a on going business not really the rental business.my experience with my unit .. is it was only 44 units.. but really nice ones it was not big enough for on site management.. so if I did this again It would have to be big enough to have on site management to show the units and keep people from sleeping in them and hauling all sorts of garbage into them like a hoarder.Don't do as I say.. but when people didn't pay and went dark ..

I am still in the education phase and read as much as possible and listen to podcasts in the car everyday.

It will be a new set of challenges and another chapter in our real estate journey.

I started in Jan 1st 2018 in this interesting journey, and all I have experienced so far is... nothing but good vibe... from people (with of course some exceptions), but to really be able to convince brokers... you really need to team up together with others.... else brokers for sure will not get back to you... 

If there is any tips of stories of you starting out feel free to email me and help me through my journey.

Apart from learning/educating, you can choose to work with experienced Sponsors by investing in their deals.

Good luck on the investing journey wherever you decide to start! 

So many things to consider and I am far from the level of real-estate education I’d like to be, but you need to get your feet wet somewhere. 

As your primary residence, you should purchase the best house you can afford with your kids education and extra curricular activities in mind.Problem with SF public schools is the lottery system, but that's a whole other discussion.

Having started my REI education about a year and a half ago after stumbling across BP podcasts as entertainment for my daily commute I am excited to finally take some action.
