@Ardian Selimi "this was self earned thru 5yrs of sacrifices and hard work 12-16hr days 7days a week" - What do you do for a living? 

Everything in your first paragraph is logical and industrious, but almost everything after is RE jargon. Saving $200k is no easy task. Slow down and embrace being 22 y/o!... You have plenty of time to LEARN about REI and to let opportunities come your way. No offense to your dad but how much does he know about REI, new construction, partnerships, and running the numbers? 11% estimated ROI on the first deal (in this market) is fantastic. Appraisals don't just come in $100k higher. Don't be fooled by flashy numbers unless you know how it's calculated.

Do you own your own home? A lot of things you describe sound better than real life. Don't get caught up in that trap. Understand the market and do your own research. If you don't you're going to loose money. Find/buy/create some basic RE opportunities that are less risky and then level up partnerships, new construction, and land deals. 


the rental properties btw are 3SFH that my dad now has as rentals. also i can send you the link for the new construction 4plex if you’d like to see and give me your insight.

@Jaron Walling Hi, i have been working at my families local restaurant since i was a kid. it pretty much doesnt operate smoothly without us being there but it is getting tiring and my parents who have been working these hours much longer than i (they are immigrants from albania hence why i also bust my ***) dont want to continue doing this forever. i also do some FB market flips and have an online store. i just hustle to do whats needed. i have low expenses so this has allowed me to save alot for investments. 

My dad has 3 LT rental properties (one which has a huge unfinished basement and a huge old greenhouse attached that i can build 3-6units or so). he has a beginners lvl knowledge i would say of RE. but he likes new construction bc theyre brand new and will have less headache. and yes i understand it was a bunch of RE jargon haha apologies. as you can definitely tell i am just unsure of what my next step should be and im a little scared if im being honest. i dont want to make a bad decision. 

no i dont own my own home, i live with my famly currently. which part sounds better than real life? also the agent who said the 4plex appraised for mid 800s he was actually helping a friend of mine find his and his wifes first home. it is a big new subdivision thats being created and has risen prices in that area. so im not sure if it was a flashy number

thank you for your response i appreciate your help

hello everyone, i am 22 and the past several years i solely invested in the stock market which i have grown to a portfolio of 275k but i have always listened and been learning about real estate. i am now wanting to pivot to diversify and get my first property. thing is im stuck and having a hard time trying to decide what to do. I have 200k in liquid cash (yes this was self earned thru 5yrs of sacrifices and hard work 12-16hr days 7days a week with maybe a month in the summers as break to see family back home, but i dont want to do this forever)

My dad and I want to be partners going into these deals. there is a new construction 4plex i am looking to build which will be 775k that i will put 25% down (half me half my dad) which will cash flow net 2k /mo if i rent it out LT (COC of 11% which isnt bad and apparently my agent who recently worked on a neighboring new build said the appraisal after its built is mid/high 800s, also my plan is after 2yrs to REFI at lower rate). i am considering to have 2 of the units as MTR for local nurses or construction crews which of course can increase profits much more.

i also have a 3acre property that i am thinking to build small 2bd 1ba cabins and use as STR/MTR/LTR. but i am also wanting to do do STR as i love the concept and have watched Robuilt everyday learning from him. i am looking to buy land in a mountain/ski town (189k 10acres) and build a beautiful aframe and use as a STR. all these property ideas are close by to me so i will have a close look on them and will manage myself. i have just been consuming knowledge endlessly the last 3months in preparation for this decision.

but as you can see my head is all over and im unsure what the correct first step will be. i have many goals and visions of what i want to do i just need some help making a correct first decision on those who are far more experienced than me in this real estate space so i use my capital in the most efficient way. i understand real estate is long game and i have no issues with that but i would like to at a minimum cashflow 100k a month by the time im 30. this is a big goal but i have 8yrs to do this. thank you for your help i look forward to the responses

(side note: i am not considering house hacking as i live with my family, this will possibly be an option in the future)
