Overall, I think these are solid markets to invest in with many Pros, but Cons as well (of course).Happy to connect and knowledge if you are interested.

My first MF I represented the buyer on I made 100k. for maybe a weeks worth of work. 3. if your going to be looking a more resi style duplex 4 plex a lot of those get listed and having access to the MLS is far superior to any other on line listing service ONE simply because you will be able to talk to the actual LIsting agent not someone paying for leads.And then of course having access to MLS lock box's and not relying on agents.. this is huge.Now if your maybe going to buy one property sometime in the future and you have no interest in learning the RE laws of your state or making any money with transactional real estate then sure.. its a pass.. although I would still recommend the pre license course so you learn the basics  the vocabulary and states unique laws.. knowledge is power in RE.

That could be market knowledge, ability to rehab a property - something that can give you an edge over other experienced RE professionals in the market and asset class you are working in. 

While Vegas might feel like a good choice because it’s closer, let me make the case for Panama City Beach or Destin—they’re the kind of spots that could turn your first investment into a major win.Here’s the thing: PCB and Destin aren’t just beach towns—they’re vacation magnets.

Over time, I found a circle of mentors who believed in me and were willing to share their knowledge.

Yes, but you'll need a whole lot of "luck" and extensive knowledge and work ethic.

It takes some serious knowledge and work.I would not buy into an SA wine business without getting boots on the ground and doing some due diligence.

Just meeting people and looking to connect for knowledge.

You’ll often see sales with 100-200% swings within the same area, which makes having deep local knowledge and understanding the nuances absolutely critical.I do this for a living, and even with experience, comping in Detroit can still be challenging.
