I'm a newbie to REI with limited capitol, living in San Francisco in a rent controlled apartment, but that may be ending soon.

There's just too much out of your control as a condo owner, since you don't own anything but the interior walls.

As others have suggested, I would probably start by getting into the home and taking control of your dad's personal possessions, particularly if there's anything of value.

A great example is a syndicator, who finds deals, raises capital from investors, and manages the asset for them.Benefits of Full-Time Real Estate Investing vs. the “Traditional 9-5”Whether you are a passive or an active real estate investor, the major benefit of becoming a full-time real estate investor is having control of your own time.

So while it feels nice to make some improvements to a block and help to stimulate the economy--it is not exactly a business success.I am in the process of doing a block of 10 houses and this where the real money is because you can control many more of the variables.

Tenants pay all utilities.Close to shopping area, off beaten/cul-de-sac neighborhood.

For myself, we have 7 new tenant placements this week the office is pounding out the paperwork on, I am listing half a dozen turn-key units for sale, we have 3 purchase offers we are moving through, 250 odd units on "cruise-control" with less than 2% revenue variance from covid-19, I am working through a few buy opportunities, 1 under contract, and I don't even know whats coming up next week or month, on average another 20+ tenant placements and so on.

For awhile Philadelphia was the best kept secret for a lot of NY investors but as of the last few years there has been a ton of NY money being dumped into philly, especially now because of the Rent control laws that passed here, but there are still deals out there. snap shot of philly - Steady population growth yr over yr - Steady job growth yr over yr - Diverse economy  ( top 3 health care, education & tourism )- Location...  2hrs from NYC "financial hub of the country" &  2(1/2) from Washington DC " the political of hub of the country.
