It's also smart to focus on 2-4 unit properties as they can be a great source of cash flow.It's great to hear that you've also been engaging with the community and taking advantage of the forums.

Thanks for the engaging. 

I will reach out to your recommended architects on how to best engage.

I've found that posts for the sake of engagement work really well in my area.

I always have to develop a local trustable and reliable team to engage in a new area.

I suggest that instead of getting a ton of conflicting advice from people who may or may not have the knowledge and experience to guide you to a correct decision, you spend a little money and engage a real estate consultant, specifically one who has earned the “counselor of real estate “ designation.  

I am eager to enhance my knowledge, gain valuable experience, and actively engage with real estate agents.

Here's a partial excerpt of the definition of a Real Estate Broker - which requires being licensed:"...buys or offers to buy, sells or offers to sell or otherwise deals in options on real estate, or advertises or holds himself out as engaged in the business of selling, exchanging, purchasing, renting or leasing real estate, or assists or directs in the procuring of prospects or the negotiation or completion of any agreement or transaction which results or is intended to result in the sale, exchange, purchase, leasing or renting of any real estate."
