As you advance in your real estate career, you may acquire knowledge and make wise selections by beginning with a more cautious transaction and progressively growing your portfolio.

Hi Sammy,Glad to see you taking steps in your real estate investing career, it helps to get reps in and learn.As for what you should do, your title states that you have "little equity", does that mean there is little equity in the Florida property or you have little available for another equity investment.I'd caution a refi with little equity, as stability in the early stages of your investment career is crucial to long-term success, try not to over extend yourself and potentially end up behind.Having access to investors and partners is the name of the game for scaling and limited funds, if you have access to investor capital, working with a wholesaler to acquire a flip may be a good option just be mindful of the risks of as-is properties and having investor capital at risk. 

My initial plans are to apply over at Boeing to keep my w-2 income rolling in so that i can get my real estate career off the ground.

Hi All, I've worked for a non-profit my entire professional career (ie, my W2 income is not very high). 

Your dedication to learning about real estate investing while managing a teaching career is impressive. 

It is much harder for them to pick a good path for education and career because of the costs. 

We have been very fortunate in our RE careers to not have any serious issues with tenants at our properties.

It's fantastic that you're exploring opportunities with the VA Home Loan and considering home hacking with multi-family properties.Making connections with seasoned real estate investors in the Lawrence, Kansas, region is a terrific method to get advice and insights before you start your real estate career.

Currently, I am undecided on my career path.

I hope to go my whole land lording career and never need to garnish.
