@Ryan DeasyCongratulation on launching your company!

@Josh Rodriguez Here are some resources to help you analyze different markets: Census Bureau: American Community Survey (ACS)  The ACS was launched in 2005 and is administered every year by the Census Bureau to roughly three and a half million households in the USA.

THAT'S how you gain and maintain marketshare, sticking to examples we all know about, we can point to biggerpockets, we can point to the growth of zillow/redfin/etc (hate em all you want, you can't argue with success), the growth of the iPhone from when it was launched, and so on.For existing giants trying to maintain marketshare, you just gotta stay relevant, you gotta stay important, you gotta keep innovating.

Truthfully, I've been following BiggerPockets for well over a couple of years now, but I haven't launched myself into the wonderful world of real estate investing yet...

Hey everyone, my name is Luke Saseen and I just launched Brandon Turner’s Intention Journal on January 1st 2020 to set larger concise goals for 2020.

I also launched an online marketing course last year (part of that is funding our RE).

And before you launch into KC, make sure to research the landlord/tenant laws as parts of the city are changing this year.  

Many, many of us started with Rich Dad Poor Dad so that's definitely a good launching off point.The best financing terms you'll ever get will be for owner-occupied, so if you're able to do 3% down and the #s still work well enough, I usually do recommend the BRRRR strategy to new folks as the best way to get started.It sounds like you got some great experience in RI - the ability to do some renovations will be a big help if you get into rentals in any significant way.Networking is important, but the best advice I can give for that is, don't network with everyone.

Our property is steps from the beach in Wells ,Me.Our listings just launched ( 2 cottages on 1 parcel of land ) & we were very pleased with the price but are also very wary it might squeeze out potential renters. ( i believe we gave prior renters sticker-shock when we told them it was now available to rent online.

I plan on launching January 2021.
