Hey, i'm currently a 16 year old still in school working a part time job, my plan is to save and get a small passive income throughout uni by looking at shares and real estate.

Other places evictions seem much more common and rentals are plentiful.

How many units can you successfully manage on your own, without it totally consuming you're life and having it screw up your day job....I'm at 14, and I gotta say this is getting pretty tough at times

However you would need to prove that you had some kind of unexpected life altering event like a job transfer to another state, etc.

Not an ideal location for Corporate opportunity....most people who do work corporate jobs commute to the city (Grand Rapids) and this significantly affects how property in Muskegon rents (interest, length of stay, type of renter, etc...)

I invest in major markets where both population and jobs (two predictors of real estate demand) are moving...CA, TX, NC etc.

Hey Kristopher,Population and job growth are the main indicators we look for. 

Like I said, i want to buy and hold for that passive income so hopefully, someday, I could quit my job but I can't even imaging how I can buy one property, let alone, a lot more to have enough to quit my job.  

Planning is great - I never was good at that - words are easy to put down on paper - other people's ideas are fun to experiment with and can make someone new in this business feel good for awhile I guess.Over 40 years ago I can recall as if it were yesterday - I was where many of the new folks on this site are today - I was motivated to make money in real estate - had a giant desire to create a little success (the low pay awful job I had, and a jerk for a boss just wasn't cutting it  - but I had motivation - i discovered quickly that it takes more than motivation to pay the bills.So this one seminar I took the guru said "set a goal, build your team and find a mentor".OK - I set a goal to get rich in real estate - to buy one house a month and to quit my job.

It is pretty common for listing agents to ask for a copy of the inspection report so they can see the reasons why you didn't wish to move forward.
