I’ve been in the real estate game for a while, and as the CFO of [Your Company Name], I usually stick to what we know best: developing and managing Class B multifamily projects—20-50 unit properties in rural southeast US, like Georgia or Alabama.

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.

That's what I was looking for when I got married because we're playing the long game!

If it crashes hard enough, it impacts your personal finances, your relationships, and even your mental/physical health.With the exceptions of politicians and so-called charities, building wealth typically requires sacrifice and time.

Having personally a lot of skin in the game, often being among the first to contribute when things got difficult.

You don’t want to add it to the rent and pay it yourself because you’ll lose the “Tenant compares the rents game.”

Tickets to football games are nice, but understanding taxes, so I don't have to qualify, is fantastic. 

I'm new to bigger pockets and more importantly I am new to the real estate game.

Personally, I bought a 3 bedroom house as my first purchse and lived there while renting bedrooms and 2 bedrooms rent paid all of the mortgage payment and 2/3 of the utilitites.
