My goal is to add one more this year, educator (in the form of problem solving training for agents and investors).My goal includes helping other investors become successful in their real estate endeavors by using my own personal experiences to help investors mitigate risk, handle problems, and navigate the often turbulent process of real estate investing.

This is why I can't stand residential.There tends to be a bunch of scummy people on both sides of the coin buyers, sellers, agents are trying to make a buck at any cost.There are of course some good people in all categories it's just the barrier to entry to buy something is low for buyers and licensing is low for agents.

A number of us attend a small and fruitful meetup that Priscilla Z puts on. 

We do not send the information to four agents or any set number, that would be a terrible experience for an investor and for agents.

Make sure you attend the NACA webinar for agents as well...  

I've heard airbnb can be more fruitful in terms of soliciting MTR renters.

Yes, there are still deals to be made out there, but the low hanging fruit is gone and you'll have to get off the beaten path and turn over a lot of rocks.Good luck with whichever one you choose.  

Properly capitalized, I’m sure flips produce good margins, but rent and hold, with liberal fruit cakes must be challenging???
