Paid off home. How should I go about my first deal?
Hello, I bought my home two years ago with cash that my father had left me. I have a job that does not pay well but I don’t have any debt except for a few hundred bucks on my credit card. I have good credit and a decent savings account.
It’s all a little overwhelming the different routes I can take to start my journey in rental properties (I’m very thankful to be in this position)
Any ideas on how I should get started?
My goal for now is to create good cash flow as well as buy and hold.
Thank you for your time
