This is where your focus should be, not buying section 8 rentals or focusing solely on increasing your portfolio by 2x, 3x etc.

However, with careful planning and a proactive approach, you can navigate these hurdles successfully.

That is why I appreciate the biggerpockets community so much for advice.

I’m a full-time sales professional at a global GSI, so I’m seeking relatively efficient strategies.Has anyone successfully used cash-out refinances, 1031 exchanges, or other equity-based approaches to boost income?

Quote from @Yael Doron: Hi BiggerPockets community,We’re a young couple just getting started in real estate investing, and we’re particularly interested in BRRRR deals in Queen Creek, Arizona.

Attend local builder associations or networking events, and focus on small contractors or businesses without in-house permit expertise.Highlight how you save time and ensure compliance—it’s a big value-add.

It's nice to see the community showing support for STRs and pointing out that an STR doesn't solve any of the real problems.  

I’m also a big believer in giving back, so I hope to contribute to this community as well.Looking forward to learning and connecting with you all!

🙌 I love your focus on helping others achieve financial freedom through real estate – that's what it's all about!

It still blows my mind that people will pay someone $15k + profits to learn something when there is so much free information out there or go to a community college and takke some courses for a lot less.
