Hello Everyone,

I’m taking Brandon and Josh’s advice from show #200 and hopping on the forum and asking this question.

I would like everyone’s advice on where to get started in real estate.

37yr old married male

Goal is to be financially independent by 47 need to generate 5k passive income to do so

Some savings 30k I could liquidate

Own SFH with 80% LTV

Narrowing it down thinking of buying a second home multi unit 2-3 flat

Also thinking of doing a 203k live in flip and rent out primary residence

Also thinking of buying a 2-3 flat with friends and doing house hack while renting out primary residence to get started

Would love everyone’s thoughts

Thanks so much ladies and gents I really appreciate your value and time

Justin Gears
