Speak to a few as the pricing and quality of service vary greatly in this industry.

I currently work as an auditor of private and public investment companies, which sparked my interest in the real estate industry.  

My goals with BiggerPockets are to network, learn more about the industry and be able to work with other investors in my area.

I am new to the real estate investing industry with no deals under my belt yet! 

It has a private entrance, full bath, and a full kitchen with a tiny home/industrial concept.

They have been super hot right for some of the investors that I have come across.The smart investors are covering (or even making more profit on top of) their holding period monthly/annual expenses (mortgage, property taxes, maintenance, etc.) by renting out the property as a short-term rental (more information here in this utlimate guide to short-term rentals that I recently helped collaborate on with some other professionals in the industry) while biding their time for the market to rise as Millennials and Empty-Nest Boomers continue to spike prices as they flock into theses cities in droves.

Industry was not driven out.

If that means you need to pick up a part time or even full time, then fine, but if you continue to learn and be consistent with your efforts in real estate, they will pay off and the payoff is much larger than most industries.  

The real estate industry is super slow to adapt to tech trends.
