I'm considering purchasing a property in a city where the average household income is around $50k per year, and houses are selling for $250k to $300k. Most rents in the area are around $1500 - $2,000 per month. Howeve...

There is also a way to do that with TurboTax desktop (but not the online version).  

Quote from @Adam Czachor: If you're going to be an absentee landlord, I would start by looking for highly skilled property managers that can handle whatever you purchase.

Hello @Breanna Green,I recommend first determining your financial goal and then selecting a location that best supports that goal.

@Teia GuberYou will have to dig into the information that you have to make that decision but it sounds like you should change. 3 evictions and recommending not to try and collect funds that are owed...

Would you recommend doing something like this?

BRRRR, flips, long-term buy and holds, high cash flow, good potential appreciation in the right areas, mid-term rentals (many traveling nurses come here because of the Cleveland Clinic), Air Bnbs, etc.

However, I'm just starting out and looking for some guidance on where to begin my journey.I've done some research online, but I'd love to hear from those with experience in this field.

Don't underestimate the power of online forums and social media groups.
