Tell me, how did you first get interested in real estate and what gave you the desire to pursue it full time? 

Hello, I am completely new to real estate investing and was hoping to find out from people who have been in the game for a while what a realistic earning potential would be from accumulating long term rentals over time. 

Rent out a unit and live for the remaining year, likely paying oop for a portion of debt service or operating expenses• Holding costs have been recouped, then save remaining funds, after my oop costs, for remainder of the year or until desired saving fund reached7.

**Dual Representation or Referral Options**: If you’re open to a co-brokerage scenario, you could also work out terms where your realtor earns a referral fee instead of the full buyer commission.

Stop trying to hack your way to more money and just earn more money consistently and save it until you have reserves and a downpayment for the next one.

All you need to look at is earnings, October(Q3's print) will be very interesting.

For experienced investors, do you see a scenario where an investor would assume the properties at a reduced rate which would allow us to cash out and them the opportunity to earn some easy money while holding the properties.For example: Say if we wait, we will sell the properties for $1M.

I have re-sparked my desire to become financially independent through real estate.  

I have been use Baselane for the last three years and I like being able to login and at any moment get a very clear picture of my rental earnings for the month. 

Hi @Douglas Alexander, I've used the VA loan many times, but never for MFR.You can't use it for more than a 4-unit building, so 1-4 is OK, 5 or more... nope.Great plan though to house-hack it.Let me know how your research turns out ref. building from scratch.Could be an interesting idea... build like a 3/2 for your family and 3 more smaller units.Then when you move out, you can rent the 3/2 for more obviously and could earn some good cash flow.
