I have saved up some money but my goal is to save up at least 20k in a year before I start looking for options on house hacking in a duplex.

I'm looking to make smart decisions for 2025, and this seems like a great place to start.

I am a PA landlord and likely starting down the eviction path for the first time in 12 years.

I also started to target for wholesale opportunities as well!

As for starting a new job, I would advise you to focus, focus, focus on the job that provides you the opportunity to invest. 

When first starting off, I would just list it on AirBNB and VRBO.

I would like to start connecting with lenders, attorneys, realtors, title companies, and all other professional in the SATX commercial real estate market.  

) the education process has started with me regarding the commercial side of things !  

I have seen people buy non-existant properties, bottom of lake (literally underwater), slivers of land too narrow or small to do anything, Army bombing range, expired leases, cell tower now removed, property with 30 year lease and prepaid rent for 30 years, condemned buildings, toxic waste sites, land under railroad tracks, cliffs, landlocked property, wetlands, flood zone, unbuildable property, endangered species habitat, ....I have three rules for buying at Tax Sale:1.
