I am already itching for my next one but am thinking of looking out of state (because Los Angeles is nuts). 

The warm belt states experiencing high growth from baby boomers retiring and migrating out of the cold belt states have plenty of retail tenants small and large with expansion plans ready to go in those spaces.Typical time in most warm belt states to re-tenant and get rent coming in to dark STNL could be anywhere from 3 months to 1 year depending on box size, location, mom and pop versus regional and national tenants who tend to move slower and be more methodical.We are not moving to a society where people sit at the computer all week long and stay in a house and drop ship 50 packages by drones.

At that point, my thinking was that the home would be a great rental as  inventory in the area tends to be very limited.Short version of the situation is that the subdivision's HOA allows for only single family owner occupants. 

And remember, things tend only to get more expensive over time. 

If you do an assignment you run the risk of getting both the agent and the seller angry if your wholesale fee is “too high” and angry people tend to cause trouble and file lawsuits etc.

It’s also free to use, and let’s me block partial payments and enforce late fees (although I tend to waive them...).

Windsor Locks, East Windsor, Stafford Springs, Ellington, and Manchester are where I tend to see more opportunities. 

@Seth Golie @Cody Sperber  BP nation has a pretty negative sentiment on virtually anything that is paid training. this tends to be a DIY site.. and of course they have their own materials they sell which I have never bought or looked at personally.I do believe though you could shop E bay and buy virtually every providers of these types of services used from folks looking to resell them.. there is not really much that is new in RE .. for some one with zero experience there is defiantly a learning curve but most of the SYSTEMS are interchangeable and will hit on the same topics..

I would suggest that you focus your efforts in finding a locating with demographics that tend to rent rooms and worry less about the overall rental market.

So I have been driving myself nuts working on the duplex I "house hacked" before I knew it had a name.
