Hey Rosendo,After 20 years in the game, owning 32 properties and managing 300+, I’ve seen a range of markets and strategies.

By house hacking It lets you get in the game with minimal money down (3-5%), while also covering your mortgage and gaining real-world landlord experience.

Quote from @Collin Hays: This is zoned commercial, so I could do pretty much anything I wanted with it except a casino.ouIsn't the Texas legislature considering casino gaming this session? 

There are many ways to get in the game, but I HIGHLY recommend house hacking with roommates if you can.

Awesome to see a new investor-minded person here.. do you have a favorite real estate success story already?

Its not often that the sales person is also very good at management.

Hey Mike, always nice to see attorneys who get into the investment game themselves, and great to hear about what you're doing.

I don't personally care about checks anymore so that wasn't an important feature for me. 

Hey Adam,I’ve been in the Tampa real estate game for 20 years as an investor and owner of a property management company.

But as I discovered, has no real significance to the apartment game, except for the ability to market and raise money.
