Welcome Ryan! @Brenda Chen and I host a local real estate group and would love to have you sometime~~ Super great you're looking to get deeper into real estate. If you ever have any questions just let us know! 
https://www.meetup.com/sfbayre 

So thankful for people here sharing their wisdom.
I've seen first hand what positive mindset can do-- 
For action and conquering fear.

Changing my friend circle or at least diluting the "you can't do that" folks with positive "you can do anything" folks has also made a huge difference. It's sort of nuts how much the mind alters how you go about taking action. 

Thank you Nick and all for sharing his story with us!

Post: Vacancy rate for out of state investing 30%?

Yeah, 30% seems high. 

Being out of state should not impact a vacancy rate that much...
If the realtor says that, he could be overcharging or the property manager may need to step up their a-game.

You could also ask them where the hot locations with the lowest vacancies in the area are.

Could be an overcrowded market too. Like what @Anthony Wick said, if it's too many rentals, forget it xD (Unless you know the area super well / are buying because you have some special boots on the ground.)

Brian Burke - Thanks for the thoughts. Was checking out what all the others who are doing this structure it as and your thoughts were what they did 9 times out of 10. Was worried about the tax implications and SEC regulations but I don’t intend to do anything massive at this time. Will consult a lawyer to make sure I’m following all the rules correctly. Hope you and your team’s current deals are going well! Best,
