For context, before I learned about his 6 unit I was planning to purchase a 2-3 unit long term rental in Q1 2025 as my first of many deals with a 5 year goal of financial freedom so I can coach my daughter's high school cross country and track teams.

My goal is to build a comprehensive resource that not only answers key questions but also provides clarity on the entire process.The draft is based on my personal experiences working with clients, but I want to ensure it reflects the broader community's insights.

I just meant to say that it's our next goal to build that up, having just gone on a spending spree on fixing up both properties in a short period of time.

My ultimate goal is to house-hack this deal as well. 

Just wanted to introduce myself.My name is Ariel, I am 32 years old (this Thursday), and I am making my first steps as a real estate investor.As I live abroad, most if not all of my work would be remote, and right now I am focusing on Jacksonville, FL.My main goal for this year is to fix and flip  at least 2 SF's properties, and for the next few years to increase this number, maybe do some MF, and possibly to also BRRR when I raise enough of my own capital.At the moment, my biggest challenge is the fact that I am remote, so I could use some help from a local realtor or management company.It's so amazing to know this community  exists, and I am thrilled to actually take part in it

Consider what your long-term goals are, is this your only rental or do you want to grow your portfolio?

Send a message introducing yourself, sharing your goals, and asking if they’d be open to a quick conversation.

.$300k cash flow in 20 years is an ambitious but not unrealistic goal. 

With 20 years of experience managing 30+ long-term rentals, a few STRs, and running a property management company in Central Florida, I’ve learned both have their place in a portfolio if you diversify based on your risk tolerance and the timing for your goals.

Pick a lane based on your strengths and long-term goals.
