Going through my real estate journey I have learned a lot, I am 24, a veteran and a graduate from Temple University,I started with aspirations of investing on a property and making a quick flip.My problem lied with fear of failing, my capital and my savings.I decided I wanted to learn the real estate market and know the ins and outs before I would make a bold choice on buying my first real estate home.

However, it’s not the right choice for everyone.

@Duke Butterfield no one can really answer whether or not real estate is a good choice for you - except YOU!

I only charge markup on maintenance if it's a larger project that requires more coordination, supervision of the work, and inspection after completion.

You lock in your interest rate and if rates drop you can prepay at any time and refinance at a lower rate without penalty.If the deal is commercial, whether commercial multifamily (5+ units), office, industrial, self storage, hotel, you name it...the choice becomes far more difficult. 

While short-term rentals in areas like Kissimmee, Florida, can pay for themselves and offer lifestyle benefits, the ROI typically doesn’t match what I see from my traditional portfolio of long-term rentals in North Texas.That said, short-term rentals can still be a great choice, especially if you're drawn to the area and the opportunity to combine personal use with investment income.

I went with the conventional option for a few reasons, but that's not the best choice for everyone.

I believe starting with something smaller will help me build the knowledge I need before considering larger deals down the road.

If it's a larger organization, feel free to inquire about their different staff qualifications.2.
