@Marlon Fong - Could we please move the post in question back to the Syndications section? 

My vision is to keep it a while (it’s paid off) and use the cashflow to help with my kids college.  

Hi everyone,I’m looking to dive into real estate investing and would love some advice.

I think when you start you need to make sure you work with people who are reliable.

Due to the current interest rates, you probably can't live for free, but you can definitely learn how to house hack in that first year, reduced your personal housing costs, learn the rent by room/co-living strategy on-site, and then probably break-even after move out, but most importantly, it is possible to make that work in 2025 with today's rates.It just takes being open-minded and willing to be flexible for the 1st year.  

How long have you owned this property? 

•If Blackstone is making major portfolio adjustments, it might indicate changes in economic conditions, such as interest rate expectations, inflation concerns, or capital market shifts.Opportunities for Real Estate Investors1.

If the credit screening costs $25, then you earn nothing.I believe there are exceptions for a higher fee, but you have to stick to the actual cost of the screening.I would talk to an attorney before charging more than $25 per applicant.

One of my goals this quarter is to post on REI forums and connect with other investors to network and learn more.

I'm considering making an offer on a property that is listed as a 2 bedroom 1.5 bath as a long term buy and hold property to add to my portfolio.
