Is $50k enough to get started?

Make the start date of the lease contingent and effective upon closing. 

A great way to start is by learning how to analyze deals and exploring strategies like buy-and-hold or house hacking.

Together, the property nets us roughly $1,400/month after expenses.Equity Split: My partner owns 60%, and I own 40%.I'm exploring ways to take out my equity without disrupting this deal, as I feel this isn't the best financial decision for me right now.

I will add that you definitely do not need to be near your investments, but it makes things a lot easier when you first start off. 

@Ketch Bays I started with the exact same amount of money.

I’m interested in connecting with investors who want to explore remote investment opportunities (internationally), especially in Europe, and specifically in the Netherlands.I firmly believe that collaboration and the exchange of experiences can lead to great results for everyone.

Big welcome.. do you have a specific neighborhood in mind, or are you still exploring?

Most larger communities will have a Homebuilders Association, i would start networking to find a builder that can finance the construction. 

In addition to my work as an arborist, I am a hobbyist part-time real estate investor with a passion for expanding my portfolio of long-term rentals and exploring property flipping.My goal is to connect with like-minded investors and professionals, share experiences, and grow in the real estate investing world.
