I am biased in favor of taking on debt to grow a portfolio, but hear me out.Depending on your investing goals and where you're at in your investment journey and life can determine when one may be a better option than the other.

I'm looking to start my REI journey in the next few months or so and I'm struggling to find properties that make sense finically.

Tons of support here so ask away.I am on the lending side of things and would be happy to hop on a call with you anytime to discuss financial strategies and help answer any questions you may have about nearly any loan product available to help you on your journey, even if they are not products my capital partners offer.

it’s basically just a quick case study about my journey with the 203k, how I leveraged it on my first deal, mistakes I made and how you can avoid them, and steps to take on your own journey to get started.

You bet--i sent you a connect request w/my info if needed--best

You don't know how to in hard times, and I bet you can just get by on normal times. 

That just tells me real estate must just be a safer bet than dental offices from an investors perspective, which is great as I'm moving away from dental.

There is an active Facebook Group and meet up called "CR Area RE Investor Meetup".Good Luck on your investment journey!

Everyone can be inspired by their journey.

I wish you all the best in your investing journey!
