If you're in a high-cost area, consider out-of-state markets where you could buy a rental property outright. 

What I did get, was on a marketing email list that sells their other virtual products.

Hey everyone,I’m considering BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) in Sacramento and wanted to hear from investors who have successfully executed this strategy in the last two years.

New construction in a saturated market isn’t always the best play if you’re looking for steady returns.A place like Rochester has way better fundamentals—lower buy-in, strong rent-to-price ratios, and stable demand from universities, hospitals, and major employers.

I definitely want to buy more properties.

Too bad you can't buy something owner-occupied, put 5% down with the best interest rate, live in it for 12 months (and fix it up), rent it out and repeat the cycle.Here's some other info you might find useful:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

You can't just go buy commercial RE.

My thoughts are current housing supply + high rates + high home prices in OR are restricting our options and liquidating the brokerage to pay off the townhouse = $400k asset + $2,400 cash flow that we could then use to leverage or save into buying another property outright or scale into 4 plex and use the rent to pay down that mortgage too.

If there aren't any massive physical problems with the property, it appears you can grow income and equity.You might be able to buy this with little cash out of pocket if the seller owns it free and clear and was willing to finance nearly all of it.  

With that being said, I also feel like I have A LOT to learn still, but eager to start the process of buying my first rental property!
