@Maxnbee Nyabende - So great to hear your approach of prioritizing vertically integrated companies when thinking of where to build your rental property portfolio. 

For LTRs, prioritize markets with population growth and strong job markets.Wherever you choose, work with an investor-friendly agent who knows the local market and can help you analyze deals.

We are having trouble figuring out which deals we should tackle first but are prioritizing wholesale to build capital.

Additionally, are you recommending that we should prioritize taking action and securing properties that align with our long-term investment strategy?

Instead, prioritize strategies that stretch your resources as far as possible while building experience and momentum.

Plus, living in the property gives you the unique advantage of understanding it inside and out.. making you a better landlord when you eventually rent out all the units.If I were you, I’d prioritize properties with room for rent increases or small upgrades that could boost value.

A lot of the creative financing is paired with bad real estate or a bad purchase price but the buyer is hyper focused on the creative financing terms and that's prioritized over the real estate. 

@Devin James The 1 habit that changed my life is I started prioritizing wants vs needs. 

Okay, this is gonna be long..here goes.Starting with $80,000 and considering your goals as a new investor with a family, the key is balancing risk and reward while prioritizing sustainable growth.1.

•And prioritize managing your money effectively.You’ve got this!
