Instead, I would focus on strategies that allow you to exploit your already existing relationships. 

I would focus my time educating myself in the investment strategy you are going to execute as an investor.

I would also focus on developing a system to create consistent deal flow.

. - I would like to focus on B and C+ properties only.- Strategy is long-term buy and hold.- Purchase price to Rent ratio = 1% minimum- SFR to start off with, would consider multi-family in future based on performance/faith in team.- Minimum 1 purchase 2018.

Three things: (1) Focus on the market you know (2) really get to know your #s (3) start talking to everyone you know about your REI goals.

I am planning on focusing on remodeling all of the units, then there are some larger items I plan on hitting(painting exterior, redoing cat walks). 

We are primary focused on:1.

Also, to clarify, you do not need a brokers license to manage your own property.I'm sure that being a realtor you would also run across deals and opportunities but the opportunities may focus on single family products since that's the bulk of transactions out there.

I'm going to focus on buying a better primary residence or cheap rental locally.  

What are the things I should focus during the inspection to make sure the inspector/contractor doing their job properly?
