Hello everyoneI am new here and want to get started in real estate.

That being said, if you're 23 and you don't own a home, I really do recommend starting with a house hack as you don't need the 25% down capital to get started and you kill 2 birds with one stone by getting a rental and having a roof over your head. 

@Curtis CutlerI started investing 10 years ago at 44 years old.

When I started our STR I had the old oil furnace removed and replaced with a heat pump.

As you start changing HVAC, windows, etc your budget certianly goes up.

I’ve built a 12-door portfolio here since 2019, and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made in real estate.If you’d like to dive deeper into Detroit-specific strategies or need some pointers on how to get started, feel free to reach out!

I would start by listening to the podcasts, i especially liked the older ones!

Hey gang - A partner and I just started a local RE investor meetup.Q: For anyone that attends these regularly or runs one....what are some of your best practices/tips/tricks to keep your audience engaged and growing?

We’ve also found that at least one of the authorities (Jefferson county) started to run some kind of property specific rental comps which can also affect the max they’re willing to pay. 

At one time I had over 2000btc, sold a great deal when while was under $100/btc to start my rental business.
