I've made connections with some great local RE professionals.

Especially if you market your work as a professional and charge accordingly.

Some homes even come with tax breaks or city funding to help cover the costs.

Out of my 32 properties, I’ve seen insurance rates drop by up to 40% on renewals, and property tax increases are finally slowing down compared to the crazy jumps we saw over the last five years.

Taxes are the $100, so about $290 a month expenses. $110 a month in cashflow.

I reduced my responsibility to only taxes/insurance while the tenant buyer does the maintenance, pays utilities and makes monthly payments to me. 

You might not cash flow right away, but even just offsetting what you were paying in rent while building equity, getting tax benefits, and learning how to be a landlord is a game changer.

Attitude and professionalism are paramount; product knowledge next, and then there's your contact/follow-up systems.Put that together, price-test against the market, and you'll have a sustainable, constantly expanding, and very profitable venture.Good luck! 

I am about to graduate college in May 2025, and will be making about $120k (pre tax) in my full time job postgrad (Washington DC area).

@Stephen Fleming your cashflow probably won't be what you think it will be:(Have you factored in the new property taxes at homestead millage rates?
