My goal is to own my first house before I turn 22.

And my goal of trying it out would just to get familiar so I could potentially buy in a much better market. 

Lofty goal, to be sure, but take it and work backward.

My goal is to grow in the real estate space, and I plan to self-manage this property.

Be active on social media, share your investment goals, and focus on building trust.

I was really picky on choosing my first property, I was looking for cheap but nice and after waiting a couple of months and going to many open houses, i finally found this gem, I think I need to be pickier with my properties, so they can turn put Luke this one and cash flow.

LOL My wife gives me crap all the time and now my goal is to get it right through escrow. lol

Hey Randall,Your question totally depends on your goals and situation but rarely is it best to lose $200 a month. 

EVEN THOUGH EVERYTHING WENT WRONG THIS YEAR IM STILL OPTIMISTIC MY CONFIDENCE ISNT WAVERED AND IM MORE DETERMINED TO REACH MY REAL ESTATE GOALS I SAY THIS TO SAY NEVER GIVE UP !!!

A lot of investors based in markets like California and New York are choosing to purchase their investments OOS in the Midwest because of the affordability and numbers making more sense.
