Quote from @Meghan McCollum: Hello everyone, I'm looking to start my journey of investing in Duluth, MN.

Obviously some people started some of the fires.

@Brandon Dixon starting out by passively investing in apartment syndications is a great approach, especially if you have a full-time job.

Thought I could set up an SDIRA and use this to get started.

I have never attempted to make a seller financing or any creative financing offer before so I am trying to get a starting point.Thank you!

I would start by looking at Ohio.

Some investors also use a business line of credit backed by their cash flow, which can help with future deals.If you’re planning to scale, maybe start stacking that cash for the next property or even park some in T-bills for short-term returns.

I got my license as an agent and have done a lot to learn as much as possible about the market I'm in and the real estate world in general.I am working with one investor currently, building a plan to start spec building in the new year, with a few other ideas as well.I'm excited to meet like minded people on this forum!

You can start by not calling us Boomers, lol.
