He was a realtor based in the Midwest (I think the greater Chicago area) and was talking about off vs. on market deals and the importance of choosing equity over cash flow. 

our first baby is officially on the market and i have mix emotions but more happy because im excited for the next chapter !

As you're just starting out in Austin, focus on learning the local market, particularly areas with good rental demand and lower entry prices.

Very interested in the Cleveland/Ohio market in addition to a few other cross-border cities closer to Toronto. 

Much like other markets in the Midwest, investors go to our market because of the low barrier to entry.

In a really good market, an investor can achieve 1% of the money invested.

Can you please share any information on properties or markets where you are that can help guide my search?

House hacking is definitely a good move for the San Diego market.

Make sure the tenants are paying market rent or above, otherwise your loan will be DSCR constrained.

Hi,We recently (Aug 2024) bought commercial land of around 2 acres. this was part of bigger commercial lot (around 25 acres) which had AG exemption and so the taxes that they paid was around $20 each year. we received a 'AG ROLLBACK' letter from the appraisal district that starting 2025 tax year, we will be taxed at it market value resulting in additional taxes, interest and possible penalities for 3 prior years.
