So back up re group.

@David Bloomer There are quite a few RE groups that I've found via meetup.com that you may want to consider as you get started.Oklahoma City Real Estate Investors AssociationOKC Real Estate Investors - @Ron HarrisOklahoma City Real Estate Investors Happy HourWelcome to OKC!

Gonna regroup and check back in a year.  

Regrouping now for the next move. 

Investing in bad area is losing strategy for you, sell cut your losses, regroup, if I was you I would look into something like buying a 4plex in the neighborhood you would feel good living in yourself and house hacking it.

her and her husband both retired from their day jobs and have all these gorgeous renovated SFRs. the key was that they got better and better at BRRRing and the nest egg grew just a little bit with each cashout/refi, so they could do bigger/better deals, then multiple deals at once. this obviously took time, but they're getting ALL the perks of REI: debt paydown, appreciation, tax benefits, cashflow, the opportunity to provide beautiful safe housing in the city they live in... if you BRRR'd your way to a few STRs instead of LTRs, you could probably arrive at that 7k/mo number pretty quick. also consider BRRRing to MTRs. gator lending is short-term / transational lending, usually to wholesalers for deposits. pace morby has a course on it. most people i'm sure take the course, do nothing with the information, make no money, then complain and say the course didn't work lol. but i do know tons of people actually make great money gator lending.flips obviously work too but you usually LOSE money on the first one, break even if you're fortunate... it's very active work too, so doing flips while you're still working full time, idk, not a fan personally. you'd have to KEEP flipping to KEEP making 7k/mo, vs with BRRRing you'll eventually get to that 7k/mo and can stop or regroup.

I suggest you make a resume and head to some nearby commercial RE groups and try to get a part-time analyst position.

Now we have to regroup and find another market BEFORE it becomes a known market. 

Hi, I am in AZ as well, the sedona area, maybe we can network and attend some local RE groups.  

I can see that the SFH routine has been a great experience for us and we're still happy with our tenants and the progress we've made.We've recently decided to alter our course now...we're going to regroup for about 6 months and then attack the multifamily units exclusively.
