Grace, it’s clear you’re serious about financial freedom, and I respect that you’re thinking through the best path forward.

At some point I'd like to begin a long career in REI and would like to have met some people already that can share in that endeavor.Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Keep networking with locals in your market who are doing what you want to do and then you will be able to chart a path forward.

Purchase price: $74,000 Cash invested: $25,000 Sale price: $145,000 I acquired a property from a couple needing to relocate, with significant repairs required.

Purchase price: $35,000 Cash invested: $35,000 Sale price: $110,000 Purchased off-market from a tired landlord, this fix-and-flip involved renovating a distressed property with outdated features and deferred maintenance.
