It’s doable with the right strategy. Start by dedicating specific times during the week to focus solely on your real estate goals—whether it’s researching markets, analyzing properties, or making calls. Efficiency and organization will be key. Another great way is to find a partner or a fund that takes care of all of work for you. With passive investing, you get to reap all of the rewards without needed to put in nearly as much work. Let me know if you have more questions. I’d love to help where I can.

Investing in Section 8 can be a solid strategy, especially if you’re looking for steady, government-backed income. The key is to make sure you buy in the right areas and have a solid tenant-screening process and management team in place. Section 8 tenants can be great, but the properties do have to meet specific housing standards, so factor in potential renovation costs to ensure compliance. If managed well, it can be a reliable way to build cash flow—just do your research on the local demand and regulations. I have experience in Section 8 housing, so feel free to connect and ask any questions!

Consider roles like property management, real estate brokerage, or project management at a development firm to build up more industry experience. Positions like these can provide valuable exposure to different aspects of real estate while helping you network with other professionals. It’s also always a good idea to look for mentors in your local market to accelerate the process. I have a lot of experience in real estate, so feel free to reach out and connect.

You’re on the right track, I can tell you that. It sounds like your motivation is strong, and you have the right mindset. One suggestion would be to network with local investors or consider working under a mentor for hands-on experience—sometimes learning by doing accelerates growth more than research alone. Just make sure you find where you can add the most value to others who you want to provide mentorship. Let me know if you want to connect—I’m always willing to share my knowledge.

It’s great to see you putting in the time to research and build your knowledge. Phoenix is a tougher market right now, so finding value-add properties that cash flow can definitely be challenging. Try getting creative—look for off-market deals, network with local wholesalers, and build strong agent relationships. Expanding your network is the best idea when starting out. I’m not in the AZ area, but let me know if I can help with anything or if you need more direction—happy to chat!

It sounds like you’ve put a lot of thought into your options—great job weighing each strategy. With your savings and experience, the Midwest could be a strong starting point. If you go this route, try to pick a stable market with at least some growth potential. As for the family project, if you’re okay with a smaller return in exchange for long-term value, it’s worth considering. Keep networking and building your local presence—it’ll pay off in the future. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions- I’m always looking to help where I can

Great to see you diving into multifamily investments—it’s a solid strategy for building long-term wealth depending on your business model. Some are built to get paid on the exit, others are more about making money on long-term cash flows. Those tend to be the smaller type of deals of course and in more tertiary markets, but not a bad strategy. I’d say start by learning the basics of underwriting and market analysis, and don’t hesitate to connect with experienced multifamily investors for insights. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions along the way—happy to help however I can!

Section 8 can provide a steady and reliable source of income from government-backed rent payments, but with that said, make sure to do your research on the local market to ensure demand, and be prepared to meet the property standards required by the program. I’d suggest networking with other Section 8 landlords and property managers to fully understand the scope of what you’re getting into. I have a lot of experience with Section 8, so feel free to message me with any questions.

Congrats on your journey so far! You already have a solid foundation with your experiences. I'd suggest narrowing your choices down based on your long-term goals and what excites you most (sounds like hands on flipping). Start small, stay focused, and keep building your network—partners will come with time and experience! If you ever need advice or guidance, feel free to reach out—flipping is a focus for my company, and I’d be happy to help where I can!

You’re on the right track! If you want to start big, you can reach out to local real estate groups or firms. However, you can connect with a lot of experienced developers in real estate forums like BP or through LinkedIn. I’d be happy to share about my experiences, so feel free to DM me anytime.
