@Jeanette LandFrom my experience working with over 400 investors, growing your portfolio with limited capital is absolutely achievable with the right strategies.

I'd underwrite the property, with that low interest rate assumable mortgage, to cash flow positively from day 1 as a long-term rental, but be willing and able to use the rent by the room strategy or to rent out part of the property as a Short Term Rental to dramatically increase cash flow during my occupancy. 

It has built trust and now I invest in my SDIRA in real estate and he invest in stocks but the airbnbs is one of the many real estate strategies and happens to the one he could get behind.

Would love to hear more about your interests and strategies you are considering 👍🏽

Used houses in the area sell anywhere from $75-125 a square foot.These are long term rentals that I do not plan to sell.I am reading the Rental Property Investing book and implementing the method that focuses on cash flow and that strategy states you need to have $300 cash flow per month, per property.

A great agent that truly understands what your investing strategy is and the why behind your goals is huge.

What other investment strategies are you looking into?
