While rental properties typically offer lower ROI, they provide long-term stability and cash flow, which could act as a cushion if markets fluctuate or your job situation changes.Ultimately, it depends on your investment goals.

I’ve been learning about the industry / different regional markets for the past few years and am eager to execute my first deal in the near term and continue growing through this community.My primary goal is to purchase a property I can live in while generating rental income (e.g., a single-family home with a tiny house, a duplex, or a single-family property where I can install a tiny house).

My goal is to buy my first rental property by January.

@Lisa Broderickwhat are you looking to accomplish - can you tell us more about your goals?

Also, what I’m asking for will cover all expenses while still meeting here investsmwnt goals.  

My end goal is to house hack a multifamily home in Washington State as my Primary Residence.

I'd recommend starting by understanding their investment style, goals, and values to see if they align with yours.

Even if one partner takes a more active role, both should understand the motivations and risks associated with investing.It's common for couples to struggle if they're not aligned on investment goals.

My advice is set a goal of 25 properties by end of 1st quarter LETS GO! 

BRRRR is the hardest it's ever been right now and you and a friend want to form a partnership (high chance of disagreement in goals and processes) with no experience to do it out-of-state?
