I am looking for more advice to tailor my investments in the right direction....and possible advice on becoming an real estate agent/realitor...

Although my BP post count is climbing, and my knowledge is increasing, my portfolio is still at zero - and I'm afraid it will remain so until I start to get a grasp on financing techniques.

I'm still learning the nest techniques for wholesaling, subleasing, and every other form.

I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something important, like deductions or other tax-related techniques. 

Exposure wise, you are much safer with this technique.  

You can get 1 on 1 coaching from big players in this area for under $200 an hour. coaching is generally much better than classes. it's tailored directly towards you and holds you much more accountable to take action if you're doing 1 on 1 coaching every 2 weeks.

You'd want to tailor it to the neighborhood as well.

You must be a proficient and expert investor to be able to invest in remote states, I have been doing this now for years and making some great deals, please help us by responding to these questions so we are able to share techniques and ideas.Question to compare notes:How and where do you get leads?

@Moises Rosario just for the record, bandit signs are "illegal" in most places, but they are still a great marketing technique and, even if you are fined, it's normally small. 

The same techniques work for multifamily as for SFR: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/8814-investing-with-rei-kitI also wrote a post on how to evaluate a residential multifamily that goes quite in-depth and might be useful right now: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/8814/73755-18-essential-metrics-to-a-complete-real-estate-investment-analysis Best of luck!
