I can keep going but these are a few of the basics...

The property will be under both of our names, so the longer we keep it, the longer it will be both of ours!

i'm in Pittsburgh, lower price point than Boston, trying to do my next BRRRR, and I keep getting outbid. 

I’m also open to exploring short-term rentals, private lending, or passive investing in funds—anything that maximizes returns while keeping risk and time commitments manageable.For context, I’d consider leaving my job if this could become a full-time venture that surpasses my current compensation (low-mid six figures).

I'm also seeing lots of homes for sale that were used as Airbnbs, so I'm wondering if that along with these numbers may indicate it's an overly saturated market, and if these are signs that maybe I should keep searching for a stronger market, or just a property that cash flows given the average annual revenue?

We are going to keep plugging away though and appreciate the input!

If I can stomach it, I’ll keep listening. 

Biggerpockets has a ton of free accountability groups which will keep you on track for your first investment and also teach you along the way! 

If you have no facts, then yes an appraisal can be your ticket, but also keep in mind how your state manages assessed values.

If a person keeps learning and growing, even a weak program, can actually pay off.
