I have never heard of this metric and don't see any information on it online.

Definitely not as much but it’s an easy way to maintain your principal and get some income from it, forever. 2) Invest with an experienced real estate operator.

I'm also new to real estate investing and have experienced the same rollercoaster of emotions.

I’d love to connect with experienced landlords and investors who can share advice on getting started, selecting properties, and navigating the Section 8 process.

start with one piece of land for one single family or a smaller development. or get the buy box of larger developers. why would they need to partner with you when they can do it on their own or find someone more experienced?

you can find all the info online"...it's like, no sh*t you can...all the information ever is online!

I've been doing my own bookkeeping on Quickbooks online and it doesn't take too long.
