I know some people are against buying properties that won't have a positive cash flow, but I'm comfortable with it because it is a long-term investment for me.

Get out of your comfort zone.

@Gabriella NataldieWith $10k in savings and $8k in hospital bills I would not be buying a multifamily propertyA roof, hvac system or major repair would wipe out that $10k.Closing costs alone on the property would be more than $10k.While it’s awesome to be ambitious, I recommend focusing on saving $ and building up enough capital so you can comfortably afford to buy a property

How would you begin if you were in my shoes?

Both are valid strategies – just pick the one that aligns best with your financial goals and comfort level.Happy investing!

Smart thermostats can ensure a comfortable temperature upon arrival.
