I used to say I did it before the Internet forums and real estate craze, so obviously it was harder.

Making connections in the community may lead to business opportunities and offer insightful information about the local market.Look into internet platforms where properties could be listed in addition to more conventional approaches.

I attribute this to bad information on the internet and “Gurus” who sell the novice investor on the notion anyone can scale to a  large portfolio quickly.

News flash, if someone with experience is on the other side, you're gonna get fleeced. 

I have one investment property (primary home converted to a rental, my first tenant will move in mid-April) and I have been getting mixed opinions on what is best for someone just starting.

Usually spending a few minutes skip-tracing and talking to anyone I can find with knowledge of the property uncovers the fraud if it is indeed a fake seller (most often the number that my skip-tracing software computes is different than the one the scammer is using and when I call it I get the real owner who is surprised to hear that someone is selling their property).

Smart property management systems leverage IoT (Internet of Things) devices for real-time monitoring and management of property conditions, from energy usage to security systems.

Just some wisdom from someone double+ your age,  I would save your money for now. 

What I've seen from watching videos is that the tax court will not believe someone is working 4160 hours. 

There is so many different ones out there, and was hoping someone could lead me in the right direction.I was also hoping to uncover what the repair costs were in the DFW market as well.
