Tired of pushing Real Estate Aside
New to Real Estate and wanting to learn and do Section 8 rentals and AirBnb's. My long term goal is to get into Multifamily apartments. We all have to start somewhere and I'm looking to become a expert in Section 8 rentals, the BRRR method, and AirBnb's at this time. I currently have a holding company LLC created called Opal Capital Holdings back in March. I figured I start in my own backyard Raleigh,NC, the surrounding areas, and go from there. I know this is a learning process, so I would like to know if there is anyone in the Section 8 investor realm that could offer advise and what they did when they started?

Creating a holding company, LLC, business cards, websites, and all this other nonsense is like buying an indoor basketball court so you can pursue your dream of playing in the NBA . . . before you even try a pickup game to see if you are any good or like the sport.
Buy an investment property and learn how to manage it. You may find out you don't enjoy it at all, or that you're not good enough to manage it and can't afford a property manager. Start with the fundamentals of financial management. Save money, invest, learn how to manage your investment. When you grow, then you can spend a little time structuring your business.
