@Priyanka K.When investigating new markets I look for things like population growth (upward over the last 10 years)Job growth 1% or greaterUnemployment =< national averageper cap income 20KHousehold income 3 times annual rentnumber of households (in comparison to other markets) Favorable government policies (is the local government looking to attract business) those numbers will give me a sense of the macro market.

A real gem.I now want to work on my passive income so I can leave my soul sucking factory job to persue other business ventures.I’m in a good position to have this work out well either way I choose to proceed but I’m looking for some advice from those of you who have been in the game for a while.

Your biggest goal right now should be getting a decent W-2 job (assuming you don't have one yet, but if you do, congratulations again) to justify both your college debt and additional debts to secure real estate.

It seems like a great program and I was really excited to see Clarksville and Nashville having multiple census tracts.This should be a exciting time to invest with the news today of Nashville getting 5,000 amazon jobs for the operations center of excellence with average wage of over 150K.Map of QOZ's (Qualified Opportunity Zones)

Always sign a contract if the job is at least, say,  $600.

Great job Riley! 

There's a Millionaire Real Estate Investor book, too.And create a database now -- whether it's index cards in a box, a free CRM, or a paid one, it will pay to have a database with systematic follow-up scheduled for you.My focus right now is systematizing my Met Database (and adding another 250 Mets this year), and systematically contacting a running list of 100 local FSBOs. 

I’ve scheduled the home inspection already. 

We received the signed purchase agreement for a property and now I'm scheduling an inspection.

With the mill opening back up and 120 new jobs headed that way, I think it's ready for a moderate boost.
