There are also discounts to other programs and products and the community itself is hands down the best of all the groups I am in.

Firstly, becoming a multifamily agent is a fantastic way to learn the business first hand while making some cash in the process.

I currently work with a handful of investors and love the process A-Z.

I believe Jimmy is not saying anything that would get his hand slapped but I'm not in charge.

You may also have to get your "hands dirty" in order to make these properties cash flow.

It is also worth noting that property management is often closer to 30% of gross rent for a short-term rental due to the much more intensive hands-on management compared to a typical 10% for long-term and as such, I agree with recommendations above that medium term rentals may provide the best of both worlds if you are able to tailor proximity to a local need, e.g. hospitals and travel nurses.Again, happy to relay my personal experiences in the area if you're interested.Best of luck,Patrick

We have some cash on hand, but not sure the route we should go when it comes to financing.

Even  if it’s a 30 year fixed DSCR that allows you to live in it the interest rate will make the “residential” loan a far better choice  Oh the other hand if it’s 5+ you’ll have to go commercial.

You may be able to find some freelance work assisting a real estate investor in the area by getting your hands dirty. 

At this point, I LOVE having cash on hand.
