Barron First off, congrats on locking down two contracts, big step forward!

Excited to learn how to get to the next step by successfully purchasing a 4 plex or similar.

Stay focused on your goals, and trust the experience you’re gaining will help guide your next steps.

It was a great experience that helped fuel my passion for real estate investing.Recently, I took my real estate journey a step further by earning my broker license!

I knew that this person was a convict and on parole, and for some reason in the moment I had felt pity for them despite everything they had done to me and to this project, and to "jesse".The next morning, this person was on my door step again banging on the door.

Love that you are learning more about the investment vehicle and that you are moving onto step two where you are working your investment criteria as well as networking with sponsors alike.

Your cashflow will be much higher than other markets, but you'll sell the property for what you bought it for seven years from now.

Thinking about stepping outside my comfort zone and maybe doing out of state investing. 

Hey Bigger Pockets community, I'm just starting out in Step 1 (get educated) on what I want to become a successful career in real estate investment.I also currently run an e-commerce business that is currently completely online, but would benefit from having a brick & mortar storefront, and I had an idea that maybe using the investment capital I'm looking to allocate into real estate into a commercial property my business can operate out of until I decide to sell the property in or rent it out to another business.I am obviously very naive when it comes to the complexity of any good real estate deal (especially commercial VS residential), but I'm hoping to spend as much time learning from everyone here who is on their journey as well.My main concern with the idea of buying commercial to operate my business out of it that I might struggle to rent it out afterwards and that there may likely be depreciation in the commercial real estate market over the next 5 years.I understand there is a lot of nuance depending on the local market but I'm guessing commercial is even less of a "safe" bet than finding a solid residential deal to leverage in some way.

Extending and expanding these credits could be a huge step toward addressing the affordability crisis by boosting supply in struggling areas.It’ll be interesting to see how Scott Turner builds on his past work with Opportunity Zones to drive progress.
