I would say I'm also a huge fan of meeting new people and really enjoy solving difficult problems.

I do think short term rentals are a lot more work but it is work I find enjoyable.

As a pro member, you can do an enhanced member search for the area where the property is.

Some enjoy this task, while others despise asking people for money.

I’ve generally looking on the east side of the city (I enjoy the Decatur area) but am pretty new to the area and open for suggestions. 

Taking a guess but the seller either knows they have a rough shape home, and is waiting for someone to come along that has the resources to pull this off from a wants/enjoyment perspective and not an investment standpoint.

Then I'll travel there to confirm the areas I want to focus on, meet the REALTORS and Property Managers to lock one in, and then start looking and making offers.Personally, I want to invest in areas I believe in and would enjoy living in myself.

I genuinely enjoy learning about real estate, and would appreciate thechance to chat with any of you about your experiences/goals.Cheers,Josh

Dont mention any good changes(enhancements) you may want to make.

When your family is set, that's when you enjoy the fruits of your labor.
