I've been blessed to have the opportunity to now pursue my dreams of investing in real estate to build wealth for my family while improving the communities we touch. 

Aside from RE (but business goals related) I'd like to do financial advising on a consulting basis, am currently getting my CFP, and have been pursuing financial independence for six years and hope to be FI within the next 3-5 years.I'd love a mastermind group that can discuss real estate and business/investing goals and progress, be inspired by others successes, and learn from one another.

How will it be determined which deals will be purchased/pursued? 

Did you pursue bonus depreciation ?

Is it worth pursuing? 

I'm planning to pursue a conventional loan with 10% down payment.

I am going to be pursuing my first property in the next few months in Iowa.

I admire your determination and resilience in pursuing your real estate goals despite life's challenges.

Carini, Here's my dilemma with this situation: the agent I just started working with is my go-to for which properties are worth pursuing, however they prefer I go with a new build and the builder they prefer.

Not an opportunity worth pursuing from my standpoint.
