Quote from @Qais Attarwala: Hi everyone, Just wanted to start out by saying thank you to everyone in this really supportive community.

How was that process starting for zero?

Unfortunately, with the number of pivots that are publicized and at inexperienced investor’s disposal, there’s never been more avenues for inexperienced investors to hold on too long.I hope inexperienced investors are mindful of this because I am constantly interacting with investors who are falling for these traps and doing immense harm to themselves, even if they may not be fully aware at the time of their decisions.It's crucial for investors, especially those just starting out, to recognize that not every investment will pan out as hoped (unlike what the gurus will tell you).

It's no guarantee but it's a good place to start.

To start out, I'm finding renters on my own and am not renting through AirBnb or VBRO.

I started listening to the BiggerPockets podcast in late 2023 and have since heard every episode. 

It's no wonder they ditched the master lease structure - easy to see now how they were losing money on it. 

Unless you plan on scaling rapidly and just want to set things up a certain way starting out.

You begin depreciating $200k over 27.5 years, starting from 2023.You do a major $50k rehab in 2030.

I started investing real estate in 2022, and own a couple of doors in South Jersey.
