Hopefully this post makes some sense..Stuff about me:I'm about 75% finished with the BiggerPocket's "The Book On Rental Property Investing" (that blue book) and have listened/read quite a few of the resources on this site. 

Also, we've targeted Mobile because my wife's family all live there and it's a relatively comfortable place for us to invest OOS - so we'll likely be looking for more deals in the Mobile market in the future - would love to connect with any other Mobile REI's, wholesalers, or Realtors who are interested in connecting for future business!

While that's taking up 95% of my time and resources, I have spent the past couple of months looking into tertiary markets like Killeen/Harker Heights/Copperas Cove, San Marcos and New Braunfels for multi-family investment opportunities.

Paige's rants were generic and not targeting an individual.

I know of several investors out there that have JV programs where you can lean on their experience, resources and network (contractors, agents, inspectors etc.) while still doing the majority of the project yourself.

I've recently came across this resource (BiggerPockets) and made it throuhg "The Ultimate Beginners Guide" PDF this weekend. 

Airbnb rentals can have very lucrative returns if you have the time and resources to manage them.

Those guys deal with all sorts of weird things and can be a great resource. 

The National Association of Realtors is a good resource for info like this.https://www.nar.realtor/research-and-statisticsHere is a similar link from Zillow.https://www.zillow.com/research/data/

In a nutshell, work with a local resource as they have more specific information to give you than a generic online site.
