A friend of mine has been investing in Real Estate for 7 years and turned me on to the idea a couple months ago. Long term I would like to focus on flipping homes so as to avoid property management and tenants. But I ...

I am a brand new to the investing world.

Acquired over $5M in real estate - which includes the path of buying a duplex with my VA loan, a SFH 5 months later with a 1% down loan, a 4-plex with my VA loan 2 years later, built a custom dream home with an AirBnB suite, completed a horribly over budget BRRRR SFR, completed another SFR that went way over budget, sold my quad for a 4-unit office commercial space, sold my 4-plex for a luxury cabin in Oklahoma AND most recently bought a brand new home to use part time while visiting my girlfriend/future wife in Florida.All of this wouldn't have ever happened if my butt didn't get dumped.

I have also found good brands of faucets on Amazon that are less expensive.

@Lon Sierra If you’re talking electric I just separated 5 units and bought the actual meters from a commercial supply house that puts their stuff brand new on EBay and the Electrician told us to do it and picked out what he wanted and said it would save us thousands if we paid for it over him ordering it and marking it up.

For only a couple hundred dollars more monthly, I can purchase a beautiful brand new home 10 minutes away from the university.

Investing in a brand new build seemed like a good idea, and I think it really is a better deal.

(Im able to get into this thing for only 10K the cash on cash return is absurd from 37-56% (depending on closing paid and points i pay, its an 8% Cap, 350 cashflow (after variable expenses) Brand new.. seems like a decent first step but the functionality.. a Perfect nice 3/2/2 1400 sq pft per side is 575k , this one could be 365k if they accept my offer i sent last night)

Burger King is a dying brand and doesn't generate the sales like they used to. 

With other brands I can always tell where the touch ups are.
