Be aware that many of these require you to be an accredited investor, so you'll need to know that.If you do not want to hold rental property, then you can look into using the $50K for a fix and flip. 

Attending the meetups has helped me build out my contact base and get an education on the investment lay of the land in Wilmington.The Coastal Real Estate Investors Association (Coastal REIA) is another good group to check out - you can find their information at coastalreia.org.If you'd like to connect for coffee or a beer prior to the next meetup, DM me.

In theory, any home can be an investment property. 

It's going to be damn near impossible to be an OOS investor in those areas.

Do you want to be an agent, a buy and hold investor, flipper, wholesaler, etc...

>10% increase: more than likely tenant will move unless the unit is grossly under the market and tenant understands that.Apartment buildings are valued based on their NOI, so although tenant turnover may be an inconvenience, it is also an opportunity to add some value, increase rents, and ultimately increase value. 

I think you might be in the same boat, which is probably a sign of being an overachiever.Focus on getting a house hack going (that’s what I’m currently doing) because theoretically that should be an appreciating property where you can gain equity.Then learn about and move on to new properties and strategies!

Lets grab coffee!

I think some people think they want to be an agent and never make a deal, I wonder how many of the 22K are "active".  

Try to get rich and just send your kid to a government ( public) school then don’t be surprised when they start to do drugs listen talk and think like trash and turn out to be an entitled loser as an adult .
