Getting over the hump of that first property just seems daunting.We aren't risk adverse, but thought it would be great to get some opinions on how to start in REI based on where we are at.We're both 29 (no kids yet), and have roughly $300K in easily accessible capital we could use (more if I wanted to cash-in on some options/RSUs). 

Just chalk it up to us being a little more fortunate now in Texas.

Therefore, we have discussed going the section 8 route so it would be a win/win, with us being able to collect the market rent and the tenants can stay.

Thank you BP for this platform and thanks to everyone in advance for helping us be a great Real Estate Investing Company.

Looking to get ideas from the BP community on some new ammenity ideas for multi family properties, real out of the box stuff, not the run of the mill stuff like pool, gym, secure parking ......Would love to hear success and fails equally-Currently, I implement a plethora of varying ammenities at the multi family communities: pet park, EV station, bike station, vending, on-site laundry, rentable garden space, digital locks, USB Outlets, community lounge/entertainment area, on-site porter service, 24/7 maintenance, wifi, digital thermostat, UBER Home......

Another Chief (a previous tenant) also text me recently saying that he may be coming back & if so would like to buy the home.The Coasties have all maintained the property & have kept the property in excellent condition without us being involved.

Having a tax business makes everything work out perfectly every year, especially with us being so diversified.

Will the US be permanently changed by COVID-19, I think so.

I just received an email from one of my tenants and I quote:No SubjectI (John Doe) and (Jane Doe) are not able to pay rent do (sic) to both of us being laid off.No other details or mention of when or how they plan to repay or if this is even permissible to us.

It hurts sometimes to deal with them, but we've made it over the hump to where now when we're taking on major work/value add, even with those costs built in, we're able to do some cool stuff.
