My end goal for investing in real estate is create a financial secure future for myself those loved ones around me.

Write it down on paper and make it a goal that you'd like to find a house hack under a certain price point after being approved.

If your goal is to hold fewer investment properties of a different type, why not sell MORE properties and 1031 exchange into all new properties.

Overall it definitely depends on what your goals are with real estate investing, I'd be happy to get on a call to discuss with you!

Set your goals, take a conservative approach, trust the data, and if it doesn’t make sense, don’t do it.

(Goal would be to generate revenue to reinvest and further the business towards consistent lead generation)
