It's a trip for sure :-)There are many REI opportunities in different markets - markets in the Midwest and Southeast of the country are great - where not only are the purchase prices reasonable for most RE investors, but the homes are turnkey (new builds or completely rehabbed homes, tenant ready, systems 10 years of life remaining on them, property management teams in place) with appreciating home value AND appreciating rent.

Of course there’s no guarantee but I wasn’t quite ready to do it all on my own while working full time.

You’ve got to be willing to stay in touch with sellers who aren’t ready today but might be down the road.

Typical range I have read is 1 to 10% of your portfolio depending on your risk tolerance.You can purchase from any number of service providers such as Coinbase but I would store any bitcoin in cold storage such as a Trezor.

A lot of it is coming down to finding something before it hits the market through your connections in the local market, or being ready to pay top dollar for the property that you know will cash flow and appreciate at what you paid for it.There are still deals to be found on market, but they are becoming harder and harder to find and requiring more creativity.

Leveraging equity from early investments into more properties is key to scaling up.Stay focused and I can help with financing when you’re ready!

Since the platform has direct access to your financial data, it can prequalify you for loans, streamlining the process when you’re ready to expand or refinance your portfolio.

Or just used $15k as a downpayment and then had to make a couple months of payments to make the property ready, pay for inspections and repairs, commissions, utilities, advertising, and then it sat empty for a month and you had to make another payment?

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

I was ready to follow the company's recommendations.
