Either way you slice it cut your housing cost some way because that'll slow down you acquiring your next properties.If you plan to do the BRRRR strategy I would lean towards doing one project to start - cash or financed is up to you.

But that's a very small slice of the population pie, indeed!  

You're 21, you're optimistic, you just finished college, you finished the pre-licensing education that taught you a bunch of factually incorrect garbage that you now need to spend years un-learning, you think you're the greatest thing since sliced bread, I get it.

A big difference if you have 750k to invest and are buying at 2,500,000 then some strong suburban areas can open up.If you have say 300k and will not add more funds to it then a DST can work for instance where you own a small slice of a 10 million high quality property.

I'm tempted to try to buy it myself, slice off the section I want, and sell the rest.

Any which way it gets sliced I’d say the real estate is much better and safer than going into a “safe” fund.

Of course, you can use a napkin to get a slice-of-life picture of how it's performing today.

Go young man Go, tackle the world and begin building wealth, it is all in your hands!!!!

It’s the same net result either way you slice it, +$280.When you decided to “save money”, what you really did was decide to work for $14/hr.Now, are you hopping on Craigslist pretty often, looking for $14/hr work?

Your also going to have rehab cost that will likely outspend your cashflow for the first few, so it's wise to slice that cash stack in half, because you don't want to run out of cash in the middle of a turn, which put's your spending power between 1 million, or 2 million if your run a well oiled machine.
