Navigating the vast world of real estate can be overwhelming, partner, but fear not!

Depending on your personal finances, shopping for a triplex or quadplex may require the existing market rents to pass a self sufficiency test, to ensure that you will be able to pay the note.

The world of real estate is vast though and the approach that I want to take (lending, commercial, multi-family, single family, etc.) is where I am unsure where to start.

That needs to be followed up with sufficient research/education.

I can now see why a potential mentor wouldn't consider a straight 'deal splitting' arrangement out of the gate, with the HIGH attrition rate (and time and effort commitment, up front...) but this almost universal "pay to play" model only works with people who have the "investment" funds... which ISN'T the VAST majority of those who are likely to DO THE WORK.

And I agree the vast majority of larger investors started with a nice amount of cash or very robust professional type salary.

Running an LTR is vastly different than running an MTR or STR.

If that is sufficient, use it.

I don't know if they stand up well in humidity but they're SUPER cheap at HomeDepot, maybe $10 would be sufficient for that window size.

It's too much to write down in sufficient detail but I am happy to tell you about in a call if you re up for it.
