I made a quick video explaining my thoughts and comments to help you on your journey! 

I been watching some videos where the get a 5% down with FHA loan but I don't think I would qualify.

After reading so much in these forums and watching videos of people who have dived into real estate, it's pretty amazing what can be accomplished in 5 years! 

There are also some good videos on youtube on how to use it properly.

In my opinion, anything that's not QuickBooks or Xero is just a watered down accounting software.I made a video about this on my YouTube channel, BP isn't letting me share it but PM me and I can send you the link

They read all about investing here on BP - a lot of the content, videos and books were created based on 2015-2020 time frame, and it's not the same anymore.

When you are within two years of purchasing make sure to have good tax returns to submit as lenders will want tax returns for last two years.Use the money you have saved and your tax returns to buy a duplex/triplex with an FHA loan and house hack.That would be my game plan in a nutshell.

Now we have to submit the plans and apply for a permit and have an inspector come out to review the conversion from 30+ years ago

Find Brandon's videos on YouTube for the "four square" method of analyzing homes and practice.

Right now I am flooding my mind with books, blogs, videos and conferences, trying to learn as much as I can.
