Don't just go during the day, but visit the areas in the evenings.  

If you can get a good deal in Fondren and Bellhaven, go for it, but in my experience real estate there is overpriced.  

Because there’s no forum moderator or webmaster, the idiots that live on the MortgageGrapevine.com forum can just go wild.

The conversation is just like any other conversation will go - "I'm going to Buy a property, then Rehab it, then Rent it, then Refinance it....can you help with that?" 

I’m about 4 years from retirement and regretting not venturing into this world sooner.I’m currently going back and forth on whether to focus on short term rentals in Florida (Destin, PCB) or long-term single family homes in the Birmingham, Al area.

Hello I'm a 17 year old very interested  into getting into rental properties, What are some good tips/tricks or books/Podcast  etc.... to read.

I am all good now, and thank you again for the tip!

I have found most investors are going the flip route with older homes or those that need work.

Should I go ahead and get my license here in NC or get it in FL?

I go back and forth between wanting to buy a place for myself in CA or just continue renting and instead invest in a cheaper area of the country.
