I think investing for cash flow to start is a slow game.

There are other ways to be part of the real estate industry besides being an investor and those may be more financially advantageous for you. 

We are leaning more toward Johnson City just due to location, size, and economy/industries that are there.

When you are new to the game, agents, wholesalers, other investors, and even you can push you around.

Are you focusing on any specific industry withing CRI?

I’m already hearing rumblings of the ag industry being blamed for lack of water.

Unfortunately, errors happen in every industry. 

Somehow I think it's better to hold onto my own money and keep that dry powder on the sidelines waiting to get into the game if there are some emergency expenditures (haha, very likely with the kinds of deals I'm thinking about in class C neighborhoods).

Hey Jaxin,Congrats on jumping into the real estate game.

I don’t mind having skin in the game either, but I know using private money is key to scaling one day and would like to get some experience with it now, even if it doesn’t fund a majority of the deal.
