I had some success, but I was one person working against other people who had whole teams and systems in place already.

Transitioning into hands-on investing is a great move, especially as you aim for more freedom and independence.I’d love to chat more about how our team of investor agents operates here in Allentown.

For example, if you look at building housing in Biche, you won't suffer from competition and can find buyers in all price ranges. 

In many states you have to have a licensed realtor on your team to manage other people’s units.

I currently work as a consultant, on a project that deals with a lot of risk assessment, identifying pain points for my client in areas of improvement, along with these types tasks, there is a lot of tracking and monitoring of multiple different requests that are going on at one time, as well as having to manage my team and personal to ensure we are meeting all necessary suspenses.

Where can I find detailed zoning information (beyond just the code, such as max building height, maximum percentage for building size, etc.)?

My advice is to try to increase your current income, focus on saving, and build your credit.

If it's going to be your first investment out of state, I would tell you to build a solid team of your CORE 4: with a good Real Estate Agent, Contractor, Property manager, and attorney.

haha,Nah mateNot my style.Unfortunately, we live in a world where information is power so I'm forced to collect it in order to protect my team and company.But I'd never F@#$ with someone else's business even if they aren't legit.Only as a defense mechanism if we are threatened and pushed far enough where I don't have another choice.
