Hi Jonathan,

I figured it’s a given that I am here to learn. I imagined this place is for people to share knowledge and connect and that is what I attempted to do so. I’m aware I don’t have enough equity built up already as well. I don’t think that means there’s nothing out there for people like me.

I’ve done some research on Arbitrage, house hacking, co-hosting.. etc. I wanted to know peoples opinion on it in started some low up front cash “ investment” which I’m also aware that’s not true real estate investing for some of those. But at times can be a good place to start to build up a portfolio and future cash for investment instead of waiting for your equity or the world to decide we can have low interest rates… which sounds like that’s what you are suggesting for me to do.

Hi everyone! 

My name is Joy I'm a mom of 2 little ones, I owm my primary residency currently (FHA 5.75%). In the past two years of owning it, my house has gone from $304k to $360k-ish. I'm starting to learn it all as far as equity, house hacking... all of it. I have limited cash in hand that I'm able to invest...I'm not sure that the current equity in my house is enough either to use it for future investments. I'm an engineer and even then, I'm getting really tired of feeling like life is a paycheck-to-paycheck situation even being an engineer...

 I know there's not an ultimate answer, but what would be your way of getting started with real estate investing in my position? I've been hearing about airbnb on rentals, is airbnb still worth looking into now a day?

Unfortunately having two little ones some of the house hacking for us would not work (I know it's a broad term and there's much that can be done under that). But wanted some word of advice on what would be best to get started? I love the idea of getting into flips. airbnb.. 

I appreciate any word of advice.

Thanks!
