👋It’s a pleasure to join this community and connect with people passionate about real estate.

I am a little unique in that most of my tenants are referrals either from folks I know or folks that my other tenants know. 

Folks this is meant as a beneficial post and not about good or bad positions.  

Since this opportunity came up, I've begun to take real estate more seriously as a path to financial freedom.

Hang out with others that are doing what you want to do and invest your $25-$50,000 in real estate vs education. 

Do you sell / buy real estate in Mexico personally? 

I would like to start investing in real estate once I get situated down there.

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.You need to get a firm grasp on two things: the ways to make money with real estate, and how to find deals that match your goals.P.S.

Probably not enough the IRA to own real estate given reserves needed and such.

To me the biggest takeaway is that as real estate professionals, we always talk about location, location, location.
