Quote from @Kaleb Johnson: Hey guys, I am a real estate agent looking to get into property investing.

@Jose Saladin Purchasing your sister’s home as a live-in rental offers instant equity (~$170K), tax benefits, and landlord experience, making it a solid first step into real estate investing.

I've been in the real estate lending industry for over a decade, helping investors secure funding for their deals.

This change facilitates a diverse range of future uses, including office, commercial, residential, and hospitality spaces.Why Invest Here?

Hi Steve,I’m a new new real estate investor interested in PA.

If you haven’t already, take a look at the 18.6-year real estate cycle and where we currently stand.

House hacking is the BEST way to get into real estate investing and that's how I personally got started as well too.

In many places wholesalers are largely unregulated unlike a real estate agent.
