Also, networking with local contractors and lenders now will save you time when you're ready to move on a deal.When you visit, try to walk neighborhoods at different times of the day, chat with locals, and take note of any development projects or signs of growth.

Ill check the facebook group out right now.

To make it work, ensure your HML allows second-position financing, negotiate favorable seller terms, and have backup exit strategies.

Wishing you success on your journey.

So far this journey has cost me over $22,000,   still without a cash flowing multifamily property...to say the least I'm extremely disappointed and frustrated.  

Hi BiggerPockets community,I’m just starting out on my real estate journey and could use some advice!

Hey Steve, welcome to the Forums.Wishing you the best on your journey.

They want the cash flow now but aren't worried about the side effects of the quick fix or lower tier asset.

Right now, we’re carrying about $60,000 in debt ($40,000 in credit cards and a $20,000 car loan).

Right now, my focus is on leveraging my degree and skills to land a higher-paying job, increase my annual income, and ultimately grow my net worth.Real estate has always been something I’ve been interested in, and my long-term goal is to start investing in both real estate and retirement to build financial security.
