My goal is to build up to 50 properties. Where have you had the most success? I am open to any location. What is your best advice?

Invest where you know the market and have a great team (property manager, repair people, realtor). It all depends on your risk tolerance, and if you want to be local or if you’re comfortable with long distance rentals. Don’t get in over your head, and think you are doing better than you are. The long game is most important with real estate.
