Also became a super host :)SO I would look at a place that's close to the train lines, easy access to downtown.

So because I also plan to Househack the property (live in the downstairs bedroom and rent out the 2 upstairs bedrooms), I was able to purchase a BRRRR with bank financing on the front end (I know, I will pay closing costs twice) and have a kind of BRRRR on training wheels because I have a fixed rate payment so even if I mess up the rehab, there is no balloon note with a private lender that is coming due in 5 months.

If you take a $5,000 training program, you may deduct it immediately or sometimes treat it as a start-up expense for some future business and thus delay deducting it. 3.

Real estate investing is like a train, it takes a lot of effort to get going, but once you get it moving, it's almost impossible to stop!

My worst deal last year was with a mortgage broker, they stalled/forgot/delayed the closing 4 times - 11 weeks in total (VA loan).

I am also heavily considering pursuing a career somewhere in the Real Estate realm, in order to grow from on the job training. 

I wish it was a little more difficult to become a Realtor and/or there was more mandatory training on how things actually work in practice beyond the basics of laws and ethics. 

As others have mentioned, you just need to clean it and then train your tenants on how to keep it clean.

If you choose the online route I would highly recommend the brokerage where you end up hanging your license provides adequate training.

Sounds like being along the train is definitely a plus.
