@Fiona Layne-GerminBeginner-friendly strategies for building long-term wealth include house hacking, buy and hold rentals, BRRRR Method, real estate syndicatations, rent-by-the-room strategy, short-term or mid-term rentals, and partnering with experienced investors.

@Karl Kauper Sadly MA is a very tenant friendly state. 

It's important to have your attorney review the title commitment, as I've seen "wholesaler-friendly" title companies include various items in the title exceptions that could cause problems later on. 

Congratulations on deciding to take a big step by introducing yourself to the forums - while everyone is friendly and looking out for your success on these forums, I remember how intimidating it was making my first post introducing myself to the community 10 years ago and before I started working here. 

I have a background in technology and real estate (I was a previous VC-backed technology company founder), so I am very tech-friendly, and I like to adopt solutions that streamline workflow/enable best practices. 

As for a market, I'd suggest first considering markets where you already travel to and/or have family/friends that live there.

I also feel like it is pretty beginner friendly in the sense that no cashflow or even slightly negative cashflow still provides opportunity through equity gain.

You have to build a foundation of trust through your past clients, your social media presence, and your honesty and ability to educate.The problem with the agents who are here with you guys on BP is that there is nothing to say they are really investor-friendly agents.

thank  you Laura -I do feel good about the compensation as they have been our only boots on the ground as we just can’t use “ friends” anymore ..I also found out that the $500 monthly fee is lifted once the place is rented and she goes to a much lower rate / hourly when things arise .I just thought it was a unique price structure and have never heard of things executed as such before .Thanks again for your reply-Christian

I have private money family friend who wants to fund multiple investments and since I come from the construction industry they are confident in my ability to rehab properties.
