You want to leverage your current home's equity to buy out of state and do Section 8 (very difficult for new landlords and very hard to sync with property management) or flip out-of-state?

Seems like there has to be options that are relatively low(er) risk and can provide a foot in to start growing funds.Here are some possible budgets and I'd love your input on how you would start out at some or each of these price points:$10K, 20K, 30K, 40K, 50K, 60K.

I self manage 2 properties out of state and can help you if needed.

Understanding the basics of real estate investment, market analysis, and property management is crucial. 

Do I get a property manager to help manage?

Sales remain healthy and at relatively the same levels over the last few months.

After investigation with the community management team, I made the decision to close both accounts for various violations of our forum rules.

The step by step videos in this program I find to be easy to get through they are sometimes as short as 4 minutes detailing a step in the wholesaling process or a tool that helps manage your sellers and buyers and then they give you an action to take... they only release a few videos at a time which to be honest was sooooo frustrating, like I may have complained... but I see now it was forcing me to just take whatever "action step" in that video was, so now 3 weeks in I still and not anywhere near done with the coaching and can say I DO NOT understand the whole process but I am failing forward with hopefully 4 deals in the next 4-6 weeks!

It had never occurred to me that one could be self-sustaining through one's own resources, mainly because I had never made an effort to understand money management, retirement, or finances in general.An MMM blog post led me to BiggerPockets, a forum where the members, sophisticated investors, referred to their properties as "doors."

They promised a turnkey solution with active, professional, experienced project management and an entire permitting department at our disposal.
