People can watch/listen to podcasts, but the only way to get into RE is making that leap.Just shot you a message!

Nobody watches your money like you do, you'll learn how to manage, so you can manage a manager later and you'll save precious early-years cash flow, which allows you to scale faster, especially in the first 5 years.

When you say you want to prioritize cash flow over equity, you want to watch out for people honing in on that and selling you "good cash flow" deals which will be in D neighborhoods and will come with high capital expenditures and harder tenancies.

I understand that it gives you more coverage and it better if you are transfering RE from someone that you don't know... but in my case I will be transferring from myself to my LLC.Some good answers here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?

The watch out is if you lose your job or quit you will need to pay the money back in 30-60 days so I always make sure I have cash reserves to cover this if needed.
