Setting Achievable Goals

If you had to start your real estate investing career off from scratch, with owning just your primary residence, what steps would you take to go from zero to 10 investment properties in today's market?

Let me know if you'd pick house hacking, BRRR, Fix & Flip, or even use a HELOC with today's interest rates and please tell me why.

@Mwazomela Mbewe

Depends on the person, time and location.

House hacking I would view as the least risky since you could afford the home and are reducing payment by renting areas of house

If you are single that’s the way I would go / if you are with someone and have children then that’s probably not an option

BRRRR I would do over flips as flips right now are volatile with construction pricing, housing pricing and time.

I would say take your time whatever you do and try not to bite off more than you can chew
