You need to watch the market yourself and get a real understanding of the market. 

I just graduated from college in June with a degree in mechanical engineering, but I've found that my true passion and interest is in real estate.

Hi, i'm 22 years old and looking to get started in real estate.

I could see spending the additional money and enjoying a tax deductible business trip every other year.

I have equally found that there is something magical about IN-PERSON MEETUPS...when I left my traditional W2 for a PropTech startup I led our grass-roots business development by going to every possible Chicago Meetup for about 2 YEARS STRAIGHT!

hello awesome BPsI have been looking into the investment properties off of the MLS and that has been a real challenge for the past 9 months to make a cash flow with different scenarios including sublets - there are a couple of regulations in this area also.I am looking into the market of Montgomery county MD.

True, these involve a real estate component, but really, you’re starting a business. 

Welcome to the real estate investing.   

I’m a new real estate investor also new to the Portland area!

Many people want to get rid of those properties after they've used them "one more time".I sense that a lot of your hesitation is over the loss of cash flow until busy season.
