its a lot to take in there are so many revenue streams I am just trying to figure out which is rite for me at 43 years old.

@John ThedfordI'm not sure a simple website search was going to answer my question.I feel like this is a hypercritical time for real estate investing and wholesaling has a lot to do with it.

@Brian SchmelzlenThis gives us a lot to think about.

I have a lot to learn!

@Braden Taylor, good on you for getting started so early.I'd start with just the quad. 3 properties all at once are a lot to start and you're losing a lot of economies of scale.

We all have a lot to gain from the wisdom of those who lived through the Great Recession.If you have survived or even thrived in real estate in the last recession, please please please share your experience with us.What was your real estate strategy?

There’s a lot to consider, but I and many of my clients got started the exact same way-househacking a property. 

My manager is kicking butt, checks are rolling in and there really hasn’t been a lot to do.

@Tim Johnson you might also consider 1031 exchange or Monetized installment sale (deferring taxes for 30 years); when it comes to getting leverage on apartment complexes - it’s has a lot to do with personal relationships; you might want to consider to partner up or work with asset managers

You for sure need CASH to do anything in real estate weather its buying a fixer upper a long term buy an hold or even one that your going to live in.I just wish i had done it a lot sooner like yourself .And for the people who are older there still time for us at the age of 56 years old i bought my first multi family 5 units and 2 years later i bought a 3 unit so there is still a lot to learn but having a lot of fun .Thank you Matt for sharing your wisdom
