@Chuck SchneweisCorrect I do not have a license and have chosen to go that route.  

As far as relocating, after you've chosen the area that best suits you I'd see if friends and family may have someone that needs a roommate so you can find the best spot for yourself before you sign a lease or rent an apartment...Ask Amtrak if they had relocation experts that are in those cities that help with finding housing.Good luck on your career venture and start looking for areas that if your planning on investing in, besides working in has the most potential for you. 

@Fred JohnsonI know you did not ask me, but MFRs in Memphis have to be chosen very specifically.

You'll want to talk to investors on both sides: those who have their license and those who have chosen not to get one.Remember, however, that neither agents NOR brokers are educated by those classes on any important aspects of being an investor.

After you have chosen your niche you might need their advice on the best way to go.  

We have only chosen those places because of the presumably good schools and house styles.  

Have you chosen which kind of property you would like to go after?

Qualifications: At least 1 real estate deal purchased since joining BiggerPockets ProA willingness to share the ups and downs of your journeyA fun personality (and the ability to rip on Josh a bit… 😉 )A fast internet connection and decent microphone (we can offer suggestions if chosen.)Now, obviously we can’t feature everyone.

I am also currently using a turnkey provider and I don't see many multi's.I would have chosen to go more local but the market here in Utah seems quite pricey.

If the loss of rent is a serious issue you should probably reconsider your chosen business.
