Good day All,We are educating ourselves on various real estate strategies and using our small business to jump-start the journey.

Is there a centralized place/website that one can go to, to be able to see all the relevant metrics that one would need to know before they make a decision on whether it would be a good idea to invest in a particular area or not?

I wanted a servicer who can benefit not only me but any loan I place with them.

I have read a few introductory books on real estate investment, and I am now looking to take steps towards purchasing my first property as I love to greatly research anything I want to start doing.

Due to horrible, and I mean horrible property managers in the area (the one known as being the best admitted to me she recently had an employee steal over a million from landlords and she didn't think it was her fault), I decided to hire a family member full time to start managing properties for me. 

Today is inspection day on the deal I’m currently under contract on , it’s a 1984 3500 sq ft 4 plex , 3 tenants in my place and 1 unit vacant .

If you are doing STR in Raleigh I would love to hear how you got started, how the cash flow is and any recommendations you can share that can help me get started.

These kinds of places are Works of Love and a life style - - are you looking to live there and take on a new life, OR are you an investor looking for a return?  

Then I started listening to BP podcasts and other real estate investing podcasts and became interested in investing the money we have to work for us.

You can start here to get some general guidance without having to jump on a call with anybody.
