We refinanced to a lower rate, then immediately moved out and acquired another house.

@Warren FosterWelcome sir, would love to hear more about the type of multi you are looking to acquire out here.

I shifted focus but def plan on going back to the strategy and ultimately plan on graduating to deeds so I can acquire the land. 

My bet is some large brokerage would be acquired for penny as it's no longer make sense to make business with too many realtors, too few home too sell and transaction fee/cost structure is too high. 

After deep-diving into research about what wholesaling is, I've realized if successful it could be a great gateway to acquire the capital I need in order to buy other properties in my market.

Especially when investing out-of-state, take into account the time, work, and obligations needed in maintaining the property.Create a Long-Term Investment Plan: Develop a long-term investment plan that outlines your goals, strategies, and timelines for acquiring additional properties.

You're correct in saying there is no "right" way to do it, just what is most comfortable for you.Personally, I'm a fan of Hard Money to acquire the property.

The most common beginner-friendly strategies include buy-and-hold (acquiring properties to rent out), fix-and-flip (renovating and reselling), and house hacking (living in a multi-unit property and renting out other units).

The goal is to acquire 1-2 properties this year and keep on scaling, because this is still so new to me, my mind is open to all suggestions, also send any book recommendations my way!

I have two properties in IA that I acquired approx.. 1 month ago.Thanks!
