Hi @Steven V. 

Welcome to BiggerPockets - it's great to see more folks deciding to get into REI!

I'd encourage you to reach out to more experienced investors in your area! There is no substitute for being physically present with experienced investors.

Let me know if you need any help finding other resources to help you get started!

    Welcome Steven.  You will see a lot of different strategies discussed on this site.  They all sound attractive.  Keep in mind the smorgasbord approach is never successful.  Determine your goals, and then structure your real estate investing to achieve your goals.

    As you expressed, building a portfolio of rentals is a sound strategy.  It provides income that comes in while you sleep, and in your part of the country, can provide a nice pay day when you sell.

    Thank you will keep that in mind,  so more or less I would be better off sticking to the goal and avoid detours?
