New adventurer from Caldwell ID
My wife and I are takin the leap into realestate investing and are looking forward to the adventure. We've just partnered with our first investor and are looking for our first deal in the Caldwell ID area.

Welcome @Matthew Woodin!
I am just starting out and figuring out a strategy as well. BP is a great resource!
I understand investors not wanting to use debt, but debt is a great tool for investing and maximizing returns, generating wealth is tough to do without debt. Rather than having a goal of not using debt, a more successful goal would be only to have debt that is paid for by others (your renters).
Good luck!
