----------------------------------Steady on there, son.

My question to you experienced investors is this: with 20/20 hindsight, if money weren't an issue when you were starting out, would you have gone straight for the big deals (8-50 unit multi-family), or do you think it's more prudent to go the slow and steady SFR route?

That means the lad has the wherewithal to pay his rent and he has a steady job with good sales experience ! 

From what I'm hearing from local note investors, many of them focus on NPN acquired directly from hedge funds given the steady increase in foreclosures. 

They are comfortable with the extra bit of side cash so that by the time they retire they will have it paid off and then truly have a good steady income.

My situation: $135k HELOC, ~$5k in cash, and good credit score with steady primary income as a Financial Analyst(meaning I should probably know this answer haha).

I want to make sure whatever property I purchase, will have a steady flow of income that exceeds my mortgage payment once I plan to rent.But, I feel that there are going to be some hoops to jump through considering I am 18 years old without any credit score.

What you don't want to have happen is you get the perfectly-appraised property and then the bottom falls out of the city it's in and the values go into the trash and you can't recover (different than a general real estate crash, because those tanked values will come back up...just don't sell while they are down).All the while, have that steady cash flow in place. 

Or do you want to be more hands off and make steady cash flow while building equity and have the ability to scale with big paydays on the back end?
