Lots of books have had a huge impact on my mindset and fueled my passion for growth.

We saw huge appreciation in the 2018-2022 inflation run up, but that has significantly slowed these days in my opinion.From a rental perspective your monthly income per unit after all expenses with a typical 20% down payment is likely $100-300 when you find a property that will cash flow.

There is as we know HUGE money in training and thats what I have seen from Lee Arnold over the years..

We don't have kids (might in the future), my husband and I are young and healthy, have stable high-income full-time jobs, and just put in a lot of work to both properties so don't expect huge expenses in the near future.

Otherwise it’s time for a big/serious talk about making such a HUGE and basic mistake. 

it was an interesting process but basically, the novation allowed us to get the deal done without having to involve the banks. this was a huge motivation. that way I save on having to close twice. 

Is this market dynamic and climate now still beneficial for long term buy and hold investing? 

In my experience, allowing these professionals to guide you can be highly beneficial, as they are likely to recommend properties they would be comfortable managing.

Dalton,A multi LTR strategy sounds like a great play for 2025.i would suggest attending any and all REI meet ups in your area that you can find; my brokerage hosts a bunch of them up in the north east and it's been huge for our growth.i would also suggest finding an investor focused agent.

So trying to acquire five more properties without cash and have them cash flowing is going to be a huge hurdle.
