I'm sure you have noticed yourself because you already have a property, but people can read and listen to podcasts, but you learn much more actually diving into the business.

I work full time in healthcare, and I'm starting this to hopefully become self-employed and financially independent.  

I have read similar views on this method of Real Estate Investing.

I have been reading a ton of content on the forums and online.

From what Ive read you can find a motivated seller by finding owners who are behind on their property taxes.

I am inspired to become an investor in Real Estate after reading The Millionaire Next Door several years ago and very recently, The Millionaire Real Estate Investor.

Thanks for the warm welcome @Andrew Syrios Chris Mason I read your blog post (The Case for Managing your Rentals Yourself) and was wondering if you had any thoughts about how close you should live to be able to manage a property effectively yourself vs hiring property management.

You can ask for recent pay stubs, employment history, rental history, and talk to their employer and landlord.
