Any general advice is much appreciated.50k is more than enough money, the biggest question at 22 is are you ready to buy a property and be kind of locked in for 3-5 years.

Just wanted to introduce myself.My name is Ariel, I am 32 years old (this Thursday), and I am making my first steps as a real estate investor.As I live abroad, most if not all of my work would be remote, and right now I am focusing on Jacksonville, FL.My main goal for this year is to fix and flip  at least 2 SF's properties, and for the next few years to increase this number, maybe do some MF, and possibly to also BRRR when I raise enough of my own capital.At the moment, my biggest challenge is the fact that I am remote, so I could use some help from a local realtor or management company.It's so amazing to know this community  exists, and I am thrilled to actually take part in it

My biggest fear in Frisco is that someone decides to wipe out H1B visas or you get a sweep like around year 2000 where they fire all the people in mid level management and Frisco gets wiped out

I think one of the biggest analysis paralysis thoughts is on landlord- or tenant-friendly areas.

My biggest suggestion is to thoroughly vet property management companies here—they can make or break your investment in some cases.Regarding your questions about financing properties, I’d recommend reaching out to @Ko Kashiwagi.

To me the biggest takeaway is that as real estate professionals, we always talk about location, location, location.

One of the biggest factors in successful flips is building a strong team: contractors, agents, lenders, and property managers. 

Quick question: What’s been your biggest challenge when managing smaller multifamily properties?

What I'm trying to say is that going up to 1.5-2 hours outside of even the biggest cities, there are pockets of affordable towns/cities with at least positive cash flow (although its never been harder to find than right now, I've been waiting for 3 years for the market to make sense before buying again). 

House hacking is a financial no-brainer, it eliminates you single biggest monthly expense, so you can increase your savings rate.
