It's also how I find deals to buy as an investor as well.

A lot of "buy and hold" investors do not actually hold for all that long.

I have completed multiple BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) projects, and this latest deal unexpectedly came my way.

I gravitate towards "red states" given the landlord-friendly laws and relative ease of evictions, which unfortunately are unavoidable in the buy and hold game.

Whether you are a veteran looking to buy a home or an investor seeking the right funding for your next deal, I am here so put me to work.  

A lot of ultra aggressive investors who want to buy buy buy aren't buying so aggressively now like they have in years past.

I am not sure if I would make the same decision today.However, if you think you can purchase real estate and have a SIGNIFICANT delta as an investment, I would not cash out the 401k now to buy real estate. 

I buy, add value, and build from the ground up.You are retired, and based on your picture, you are not old.

Buying properties back then in the Bay Area and doing nothing turned out to be an amazing wealth building strategy :) But, it more than tripled his net monthly income making this move!
