I'm an artist and musician, and at 25, was super excited by the idea of jams in the basement and a big detached garage for a painting studio and all my surfboards.

What enabled you to be so ahead of your initial schedule?

I currently pay $3500 in rent and would obviously love to pay that towards a mortgage, however I am wondering if it makes sense to buy a few rental properties in the next 90 days in the midwest, and begin building a buy and hold cashflow portfolio that eventually will enable me invest and buy locally.

I hope i didn’t prolong this, I just wanted to connect you guys with my life a bit, hopefully allowing you guys to step in my shoes a bit and to enable you to give the best advice!

On top of that, our education system seldom offers personal finance courses to young students, which will enable people to take advice from gurus or the internet and question whether or not it makes sense for them in their particular situation.

Renting out the other 3 units while I renovated a unit allowed me to break even monthly during each of the two renovations. 1 of the units tested positive for meth when I was buying it enabling me to get a big discount and during due diligence I confirmed with a reputable company that it would be cost just $4,000 to completely remediate the methHolding it for two years allowed me to see a lot of appreciation & get the lower capital gains tax rate What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I’m currently a full time professional musician here in ATL, making my living as a touring and studio guitarist, as well as music educator.

My day job is musician (keyboard player) but I am looking to grow my passive income.  

I'm also a part time musician, singer songwriter, lead guitarist and vocalist in a band. 

If you are looking to scale, recommend also aligning also with the right partners that enable your goals.
