I’ve watched a lot of videos on how to screen and how to set up work with contractors, so I’m hopeful to build those relationships more in this area in the future.Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Didn't have a lot of free time, which my wife didn't like.Read copy & paste below to better understand Property Classes:------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.
