So we just moved into our house a few months ago and this will be our home. Yes I think the scenario of wanting to park cash somewhere for it to appreciate was the initial motivation.

Thanks for the reply! So we had bought a townhouse in 2018 for $455k and lived there for 5 years and sold it for $700k so right under that $250k number. I’m a dentist and my wife is a CPA so she’s more than happy to be the numbers person lol. 

We just bought and moved into our new house a few months ago and looking for the right rental property now

Thanks, yea I mean I've been waiting on this thing to crash for 5 years but figure the advice of no better time to invest than the present is the best advice.  I'm not ready to 100% jump into investing out of state quite yet.  I'd like to exhaust my options locally like how someone mentioned venturing out to further out suburbs and whatnot to see if I can find some deals out there.  

The other thing I'm looking at is long term buy and hold locally with so much development going on and banking on the appreciation in areas that look primed to be worth much more in 5-10 years.

What is padsplitting? With a wife and kid can’t do the house hacking. Although I wish I had embarked upon this 10 years ago and done that.  I’m open to multi family just don’t see very many options available.

I’m open to any avenue really. I’m still looking into which options would be the best for me. 

It feels like I'd have to be more hands on day to day with a STR compared to a LTR or commercial so the LTR or commercial is more appealing at this time with my wife and I still having to work full time.

Thank you so much for the advice. And yes I’d have no problem tweaking my strategy and doing it as more of a buy and hold type thing.  

We are in our mid 30s, student loans are paid, and we have good credit so I’m thinking we should be in a good position to buy and hold for a Longer period of time.

Hello, 👋🏾 my wife and I have recently began educating ourselves the last few months with real estate investing ie books/podcasts/this site. Everything we look at here in Tampa seems like the numbers aren’t even close to cash flowing. Should we focus a lot further out or out of state?


we have about $400-500k liquid we could use for investing but feels like we missed the boat by 3+ years.
