It was a dream purchase for me and my wife, but after joining Bigger Pockets and all the great folks on here helped my move into the STR game.We ended up with a standard 2nd home mortgage that was almost immediately transferred so we just started listing it on VRBO and AirBNB.

I did not join as some of the members were not the type I wanted to hang with.. 

Join me on this journey where ingenuity meets investment, and let's pave the way to lucrative success, one deal at a time.

Hi Friends,I am new to REI and excited to get started. I am currently a healthcare provider and hoping to use RE and other investments to create more passive income and perhaps retire early to spend more time with fam...

@Kyle McShea Like @Sarah Kozlik said, you should definitely join us at REI Central if you plan to get more involved in the investing space.

I would love to have a meeting to discuss possible strategies, questions that we have, and we are serious about investing in a property as long as the numbers make sense.4) Also, if there is any Investment Community I would love to join, meet up with some investors so we can share some knowledge / valuable information.

All input would be appreciated, btw I am using DSCR loan, with 20% down and interest is about 8% a piece with credit about 695, so Lenders welcome to join in this post.

So, here at the 6 month check in, here are the things I've been doing since January 2024: *Anchored everything to my WHY, including the motivations and long-term strategy *Joined a local REI group hosted by my church*Researched tax lien investing in Harford County, MD and decided to not play in that space this year*Read a few REI books (Rich Dad Poor Dad, One Rental At A Time, Building Wealth One House at a Time, Wealth Without Cash, Building Real Estate Wealth in a Changing Market)*Subscribed to a bunch of good YouTube channels (BP, ORAAT, Ken McElroy, Coach Carson...)

Two weeks later he tells me that he is joining the army and wants to break his lease. 

It's for this fact that so many join and work under a Brokerage Brand.
