I prioritize cash flow assuming 10% down and typical expenses. 

Your post has prompted me to prioritize finding a dedicated agent to assist me in future acquisitions.Thanks!

On average, homeowners get to enjoy 17% bigger homes in Texas versus California whereas apartments are about 6% larger.For those prioritizing living space at home, a move from Los Angeles County to Collin County would be the most rewarding.

This had me ask when I started investing, who should I prioritize getting on my team first?

If not, have that conversation.I'd encourage you to prioritize getting that income up, way up. $70K is great at your age, but I want you much higher, like 200K household income, ASAP.

Being a small time investor with limited funds we had to prioritize our strengths and hedge out our limitations when competing with other more savvy investors.

Combining investments in cash-flow-friendly areas with financing options that prioritize the property's profitability, such as DSCR loans, can significantly enhance your potential for building a successful real estate portfolio.

Make mistakes on a smaller scale.Engage with local real estate meetups or groups to learn more and network.If comfortable, consider a private loan to maintain liquidity but always prioritize terms that are favorable to you.Once you have a handle on things, refine and scale your strategy.Lastly, you’re not in this alone.

Are there any blocks that should be avoided or prioritized?

The demand is simply too high and they are prioritizing primary homeowners.
