My endgame is to end up with $300k/yr in post-mortgage income in 20 years based on investments I make now followed by continued investments over the next 10-15 years own.

Continue to network with people in real estate, go to real estate meetups, connect with investors in the forums. 

In layman’s terms, I took all of my earned income to continue with the rehab only paying down my debt when someone else paid me (my lender via draw money).I won’t bore you with the details, but this lasted about 6 months.

Lock-out, should they continue to not come even, would be typically less than 14-days.Unless the tenant comes even with the rent (which would result in dismissal of the non-payment of the case), there is generally limited defense to this process.

The city has a lot of momentum with major developments, population growth, and continued investment in infrastructure.That said, it’s not without challenges.

Find something with someone who is boots on the ground, that you have talked to and built trust. 

They have been talking about it for almost 20 years and have never broke ground.

Please protect yourself and vet your contractors thoroughly.Feel free to reach out if you would like to talk further.Wishing you best of luck with your investment journey!

The last lender I’ve tried to get a pre-approval had a, imo, patronizing response saying,”Although lots of people talk on social media about buying a three or four unit property with only 3.5% down in practice it almost never works.”All lenders who I’ve tried to give a pre-approval for has tried to sway me to switch to a 5% conventional instead.

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.
