I feel quite intimidated only seeing people with large followings and MULTIPLE properties.

If you’re looking for ways to make the numbers work, sometimes that means evaluating different markets, financing options, or property management strategies that help mitigate risks like vacancies and maintenance surprises.You’re not alone in feeling like 2025 could go in multiple directions, but one thing remains true—real estate continues to be one of the strongest vehicles for long-term wealth when approached the right way.

The good news is that it will still serve as a house hack when we move, as there are multiple units on the property.Our concern is that it is in a high fire prone area.

Is it realistic to ask for and expect to get at least 2 landlord references and 2 tenant references (current clients) if I am a " small time" landlord with one property, not multiple units?

I'm currently flipping properties in my backyard (SoCal) and have the liquidity to fund multiple projects.

Listing on multiple platforms does affect ranking by platforms but not as much as you think.  

Remember, the most successful investors often understand and use multiple investment vehicles.

The beauty of this is that intermediaries who work with me know that I make “fair” offers based on VERIFIABLE facts, that I follow through with completed deals unless important information was with held or information provided was false, and that there’s absolutely no value in presenting deals to me where the seller/borrower/investor is unrealistic, naive, or otherwise wanting to “test” the market.  

Dont chase yield and don’t try brrs until have owned a few with tested contacts for labor. 

I have multiple properties and am thinking of just doing non qm loans moving forward.
