I am new to real estate investing and I would like feedback on my strategy and any pointers on how to get started.I have approximately $100K to invest and would like to build a RE portfolio using this seed money along with savings generated from my day job ($20K-$50K annually)Similar to most, I'd like to have investments sufficient to generate enough cash flow to support my needs and allow me focus on real estate on a full time basis.

I make good money and I have been socking away my seed money, and I'm ready to make my first purchase.

The best way to max out your CF is to compound the use of your seed money (cash) by refinancing it and reinvesting it in the next, and the next, and the next...etc...Most people think too small and basic in their thinking.  

I think if we are looking for miracles around every corner we might be pushing them away so just keep sowing the proper seeds and have faith.Thanks for reading,Hope this helps someone!

After the reno, I'll refi the duplex with a conventional mortgage, pay-off the line of credit, and get my seed capital back.My goal is to acquire one more duplex by year-end.

Congrats  @Joshua Dorkin10 years is a long time; specially in today's tech world, where most of the startups raises a seed round right after about 6 month of work, and an A round shortly after that. 

But, our plan is to end up back in East TN after the military in 10 years, so my wife and I want to start planting seeds in regards to building a portfolio in that area!

This little seed planted the passion and idea of owning a property and renting it out.I've always rented all my life (I'm a millennial after all), but now that the time has come to settle down, I wanted to start preparing financially for the rest of my life. 

I used Seed Capital through Success Path - and now I am in credit card hell. 

There will be additional on-going expenses and maintenance that you may be able to avoid.Have you considered seeding the yard with a sun-tolerant variety?
