Quote from @Frank Barletta: I started spending a lot of time researching new rental markets for myself and recently came across Parma, OH.

Thank you It does not matter where you start as long as you develop your Core 4.

I need all I can get at this starting point.  

Or will hiring a PM and reno team be a more realistic avenue for you (especially if you are looking for an area outside of where you are where the RE market may be hotter)After you find the answers to theses questions, I'd hunt down a great agent in your desired area and start searching! 

Hi, My name is Ahmed Aboelela and I'm a just getting started in the real-estate game.How do you build up enough capital to buy a rental property?

I’m starting wholesaling now and this is the exact reason why.

It is a good start.  

I would recommend contacting your local government and requesting a list of properties with back taxes, then start analyzing the areas where you think you can add value.

I've finally decided to start my journey after listening to Biggerpockets podcasts.

You should also start networking directly with companies in your area and letting them know that you’re a temporary housing provider.
