So i am a 23 year old who has worked his butt off since 2020, i currently have 20k saved for a down payment and by the end of the year i hope to have a maxed out emergency fund maxed out and potentially 30k for my house fund.

And if I am a publicly traded company – then maybe even my shareholders want me to limit my risk to investment properties.

Louis offers affordability, cash flow potential, and emerging market opportunities but also presents management challenges, unfamiliar markets, travel costs, local regulations, and crime rates.

It can be in appreciation, in trading up in assets, etc.With 50k, it really depends.

Hi Steve,The Dave Ramsey way of doing things is to write out a new budget every month, sell off anything you don't need or use, get yourself a small emergency fund.

A dryer is not an emergency and the tenant should be patient while you coordinate the repair.Because they ignored your instructions and chose to hire their own vendor, they should pay for the repair.I also recommend you learn how to handle aggressive or abusive renters.

Also, I have no experience in trades or homebuilding, both of which (in hindsight) would have been nice to work on.Any general or anecdotal advice would be much appreciated.

The problem is that the majority do exactly that, but a great professional real estate agent knows what boxes to check and the tricks of the trade.

If you have U.S. credit, 2 scores must show with at least 2 years of trade line history.

Its a trade off.
