@Seth Rose I strongly recommend you find the best cash flowing property possible and buy it with financing out of the gates, rather than go the BRRR route. 1.

Is there strong demand for high-end rentals in your area?

I still have clients but much more selective who I work with these days.Anything good NNN for dirt and tenant in strong suburban area about 2.5 million and up in price with at least 35% down.

This is all very new to me, but I started listening to the BP podcast about a month ago and realized I have a strong interest in real estate investing.

I strongly believe that with 100% digital collections done via Baselane (including security deposit collection) and it's banking service is such a risky value proposition for investors like you and me, as at some point these type of situations will always happen ... and no one else is on the hook other that you as the owner / landlord.

All said, you will find many folks within these forums that are strong promoters of self-directed IRAs.
