I would attend various networking events and speak to real estate investors who have successfully invested out of state. In the midst of doing that, I would continue to build on my credit because that plays a major role in everything. You have to also establish a filter system on how you want to invest. We invest in landlord friendly states so we mitigate some of the risk in investing out of state. 

Without knowing specifics on your ultimate goal, these are at least some points to think about.

There is so much BS on social media it's not even funny. It also doesn't help that the newer generations want instant gratification so it's the perfect storm to buy into the hoopla. I always tell people, it's like any other business, respect it. That means taking your time to study what you want to do (in this case what type of investing you are most interested in) and speak to those who have done it successfully. 

Hello,

I am reaching out to the BP community to see if anyone has had any good experiences working with a real estate developer in the Eastern side of Tennessee. We have several projects in the pipeline that will require re-development and any help you can provide would be deeply appreciated!

@Nina V.

I find going through an insurance agent helps a lot. I can refer you to one if you need.

@David Cheng

It's time to branch out if your area is saturated. Again, if that is something you're willing to do.

@Kaushik Sarkar

I would be expanding my real estate portfolio. It is still a fantastic time to buy. I disagree with using it to pay off debts or other liabilities. Stay focused and scale up.

At the end of the day, respect the business!!!!!!

That means put in the hard work and dedication to the SPECIFIC type of investing you want to do. Instant gratification is an illusion.

@Timothy Yang

Honestly, not as much. Do the best you can but the face to face encounters are always the most effective in my opinion.

@Timothy Yang

At this stage of your life, I highly recommend reading, attending networking events, and speak to investors who have SUCCESSFULLY invested in whatever type of investing you have most interest in. You need to build up your network as this business is all about relationships.
