Please correct me if anything I say about my plan is wrong and I'm willing to learn/listen to more advices here.I'm currently living in PA will be paying off my house this year (only $20,000 left).

Real Estate Investors can play ahead of the game by learning about 1) Real Estate (of course), but not the basic stuff....all the tricks that can make you stay one step ahead of your competition. and 2) Construction - How a house is built and how to fix, remodel and add value.So for #1, you can just make this forum an addiction.

So from funding balt city row houses to loudoun county :)

I'm looking into what it takes to buy my first house/multifamily property out of state.
