I'd say it all depends on what works for you. Like @Sanjeev Advani said, cash flow or appreciation. I don't know if you've done any research on the areas or not to find out new construction or anything in the area that may add value to the property(if you care about appreciation). Also do you look for value add opportunities or want something that is low maintenance. I am currently looking, but I am looking for value add opportunities to force appreciation. Good luck on the search.

Just grind it out and set smaller goals/tasks that will help you achieve your 12 deal goal. You can do it.

Chad Pinchot in the meantime just educate yourself as much as possible. Meet ups will always be there. Whether you have to schedule time off to make it just plan accordingly. In order to get your wife on board, just share the long term vision with her. Show her people who are doing it and share all of the things you learn. It may take time depending on her mindset, but it is a mindset shift that needs to take place before you two are on the same page. Hope this helps at least a little.

Welcome and wish you the best on your REI journey

I’d say save up some more so that you’ll have more options. What are your goals?

Jason Smith you can start by looking on here for meet ups. Set up key alerts with your desired city and meet up so that you are alerted. Also try the meetuo app, there are a few there also. Once you get out there you’ll here about more meet ups from other people. Send me a PM and I’ll give you a few

Chingju Hu thank you. I will knock it out the park

Have you tried door knocking or driving for dollars? In my opinion that’s a good way to find leads because not that many people are face to face with the client. Mailers are good too, yours could be the one they respond to.

Kysha McNeal thanks for the response. I will be using the FHA loan to purchase my first house hack. I want to aim for a tri or quad-plex preferably. I will consider a duplex if the numbers are right also. Correct me if I’m wrong, I heard that USDA loans were only for rural areas and VA loans are exclusively to veterans? Now that I know that this is your back ground I can pick your brain with any questions regarding it. Thanks in advance.

Kysha McNeal thanks for organizing the meet look for to future meets and making it even bigger.
