Still do your own math though....not that I wouldn't trust him, but every house and every neighborhood is completely different. 

@Danielle B. as already stated, you should invest in real estate, not bet on government funding.Interesting article reviewing what Trump did to HUD during his last term:https://www.housingwire.com/articles/what-trump-budget-reque...

I now live out of state, but I still have a 4 acre property near the crossroads (on 111 & near 77) in Lavaca County, TX that I need to do something with.

I currently do not own any properties but would love to begin my investment journey.

All and all, make sure to do your own due diligence when using Paperstac as well as others because the info can be old and not up to date.

I bought that one in Alabama since I already owned SFR's there.

Now, I'm shifting my focus to multi-family properties, particularly in landlord-friendly states.

And to be truthful it's not like I have a JOB in a business I owned from which I could draw a defined salary.  

I think because I've been learning about it so much and talking to so many people, I'm in a state of analysis paralysis and I just need to pick a good deal and go with it with the team that I form.

Finding deals outside of California can definitely open up new opportunities, especially given the cost of living and market dynamics in the state.When looking for properties in other states, consider focusing on areas with strong rental demand, economic growth, and population increase.
