@Geoff Engel depending on what amount of available cash you are starting with and what you ultimately want to achieve will help determine your path.

You will not only achieve a status upgrade in the market of RE investing, you are given the opportunity to have the knowledge to back it up.

I'm going off the understanding that you still need to spend 500+ hours in the business to achieve material participation (please correct me if I'm wrong). 

Quote from @Youssef Pullman: Where do you guys get your cold calling lists from in dallas , Houston texas , am struggling finding a good data to work with and i have a team of 2 cold callersHey Youssef, I am the owner of DealMachine.

You can generally achieve better bank leverage and has a lower barrier of entry.

I've spent HOURS onboarding my properties and data manually. 

@James SillsFrom my experience working with investors, transitioning from residential to commercial real estate (CRE) is an exciting and achievable goal with the right foundation.

@Veronique Leroy No, I don't have any...but I'm having a hard time visualizing the type of property that will achieve those returns.

I’d love to hear about your goals and what you’re hoping to achieve here.

Be sure to celebrate the goals that you achieved!!
