** Aspiring investor looking for advice **

What's going on!

First thing, THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

I'd love some advice from anyone about which strategies I should consider for getting myself into real estate investing. I'm 28 & Married with 3 kids. I don't see many guys or galls like myself with advice for my situation, but if you do or can offer me some insight I would appreciate it very much.

Thanks for the help ☺️

@Jonathan Dunn

1. Double your renovation estimate on your first rehab

2. Double your maintenance and CapEx expenses on your first long term rental

3. Don’t take on risk you can’t afford

If the numbers still work you might be good.
