After listening to the BiggerPockets podcast, there seems like a million ways to make money in real estate! For the seasoned people, if you could go back and start from scratch, what do you think is the best way to get started? Long term rentals? Fix and flips? Wholeselling? I know I want to do a combination in the future, but am overwhelmed with the different paths right now. Any help is much appreciated!

I am looking to purchase a duplex and occupy one of the units. With current prices in Palm beach & Broward county well into the 400s+ would it be normal to not at least break even when only putting 3-5% down? The way I am looking at it is to at least get 60% of the mortgage covered and I could hack out rooms in the unit I will be living in. Any flaws in my thinking above?

SO HOT RIGHT NOW!!!

I'm new to the bigger pockets environment and new to realestate investing. Right now I'm looking to navigate through what is a credible resource and what is BS. 

I'm eager to start investing and welcome any advice or assistance.

Happy Monday! I’m still a newbie in real estate investing, I would like to know what the senior Real Estate investors think about this. When it comes to investing, do you go for cash flow over appreciation or appreciation over cash flow? Example, 

a) cheap location, great cash flow

b) little expensive location and good appreciation 

Hi,

My name is Matt and I’m looking at purchasing a home with an above garage space that needs complete reno to be turned into a livable apartment(plumbing/drywall/etc). Here are my questions..

1)If HOA has anything against renting this space should I give up on this neighborhood?

2) What kind of costs could we be looking at refinishing this space? Good for newbie DIY’er?

3)Anything I missed that I should do my due diligence on before getting into this home when it comes to the house-hacking ability? Any reason why house-hacking these could be a bad idea/what to look out for? 

Advice is greatly appreciated

Sincerely,

Matt

Hey guys, my name is Lena. I've been on bigger pockets for a while but never really interacted on the forums. I've always had some questions about my plan in real estate and always went to google but it just occurred to me to network here with experienced people instead of digging for answers. SO, let's get started. Im 17 years old and a junior in high school, Im planning on saving up money for some real estate classes, in the summer after I graduate high school, to get my license before college in order to get started on selling houses as an agent.(Of course this comes with the difficulties of getting lists and being hired by a brokerage which I would like some insight on.) Then I plan on saving some of the money from commissions to begin investing in real estate. I don't intend to be a real estate agent forever, but I thought with this profession I could educate myself on real estate through experience and obtain a good amount of money. When starting my investment journey i'm mainly focused on investing in BRRRR, house hacking and house flipping. In that order. I want to invest in duplexes, fourplexes, apartments, etc. I want to one day have built an enterprise on real estate investments along with other business ideas I have.

Let me know what you guys thinks about this and please get into detail about any part of this general plan I have to build wealth.(Right now i'm mainly concerned about the upcoming step which would be how fast I can start selling real estate when I get my license.)

Hello, by means of introduction, I am a newbie to real estate investing.  I am open to advice on house-hacking, multi-family and flipping properties.
