I do not care what the source of the return is  Historically the highest return is via a value add and appreciation and is more so recently due to the recent rate increase versus earlier this century (before 2022).However, most new RE investors cannot handle extended periods of large negative cash flow.  

Wondering what the best entry point would be.

Lyons was a family name and I guess my email entry form set up my user name slightly.

The lower barrier to entry would be excellent for my personally smaller net worth.

Hey BP family, I'm currently trying to help out a family in need from having to foreclose on there property by taking over subject to, it has a high interest rate although the entry is around 20k I want to wholesale this ultimately Is it possible for me, to disregard my initial assignment fee to get a buyer asap and add a 2nd lien on the property as my fee? 

Quote from @Jay Fayz: Hello everyone,I've recently been exploring real estate as a potential career path and I'm looking for advice on the best entry-level job to gain experience and knowledge.

I've been looking at NC and GA recently, trying to find some entry level and easy to maintain property, but there are too many areas and it's really hard to narrow down.

We already paid them a pretty sizeable entry fee ($30k) to cover some of their equity and debt in another project.

Kudos to you for doing something to create a secondary income stream. there are 5 income streams in RE rentals, possibly six if you do things a certain way.The reality here is your model (buy box) is suffering from too high an entry and too high a cost of capital.

Is there someone local who handles these sales?
