Hey @Anthony Sigala many folks might be optimistic about this rule but the "rule" was created during a very specific and particular time in real estate as a way to help newer investors have a framework on how to approach rental properties without going in blind.

Also, how much time do you want to spend doing real estate vs. your main job or extra work in order to fund it.

Sometimes it's better to pay a bit more, for a real professional to handle your most important transaction. 

Quote from @Jimmy Rojas: I live in Arizona and homes here are sky high, youd be lucky to get %6 interest rate, I would be a 1st time home buyer, apart from being 1099 employed would Trumps real estate plans benefit the little guys like me? 

@Audris TienIt Is known in the industry - read the website - logically two people could not manage $1.4B in real estate?

Real Estate Investing can be an exciting and rewarding venture, offering the potential for significant financial returns and the opportunity to create wealth over time.

I changed my major from Accounting to Real Estate back in 2018 when I was attending Glendale Community College.

It’s a great way to get your feet wet in real estate while building equity.

I am very interested in real estate investing and flipping (I have a decent amount of construction experience) I was wondering what some good resources are to look at when evaluating a property, especially in the Dayton / Cincinnati area.  

Trust yourself and "go for it!"
