An ideal world for me would be to find a salary or hourly full time position with minimum 55k a year in Arizona so I can learn and also make enough to get approved to buy my first property that I later want to rent out and hold long term.

Since I’m holding these properties for the long term (30-year loans), I’ll have fully paid-off assets around the same time I’d traditionally start withdrawing from my 401(k).

Purchase price: $350,000 Cash invested: $20,000 I was able to get a 3.75% interest rate in a time where rates were at 8%.

.: @Andrew Syrios i did think about that but TX has absurd requirements. basically making it not worth it unless you are a full-time realtor.Really?

I am the first time rental property buyer.

An accountant is a general job title that may potentially do one of many different tasks(bookkeeping, reviewing financials, assurance, taxation, etc)Bookkeepers are specific that they will likely only do the bookkeeping.

Purchase price: $285,000 Cash invested: $4,000 Purchased in 2021, rented out part time in 2022 and 2023—full time short term rental since 2024.

Found on Zillow during a competitive time in the market.

I've house hacked 3 times and I'm getting pretty tired of moving.
