Create meaningful, real-estate centric relationships with people who have established themselves as successful real-estate investors.

Thank you for the thoughtful response and the encouragement.

Shouldn't they be paid more for renewals than new leases to encourage the placement of quality tenants?

However, I'd encourage you to be open about your market and focus on finding the right provider for your needs and goals.

I've already visited real estate investor workshops in my local area and meet some people who has been encouraging me in the right direction.

I would encourage you to network- here on BP and look into local REIAs in your area as well.  

@John Horner @Sharon S.Thanks for the encouragement!

Since you are asking the most basic purchase questions I would encourage you to double and triple verify that the property will indeed be worth much greater in arv than he $260,000 that you anticipate to invest, otherwise you just bought yourself a new personal residence or an accidental rental. 

I really appreciate your feedback and encouragement....I also drive for dollars and know that is a super way to get started and find deals.  

Or are you reluctant to take any meaningful investigative action?
