Or 34 sounds like a lot but once you're deep in the game you realize you need way more than that to retireMy expectation is (outside of obvious road blocks) approximately 30-40 units at hopefully 2-300 cashflow per unit would get me to a comfortable position in covering expenses (assuming that number is different for all people).

I'm interested in suggestions on possibly where to start or dive in.

Please reach out to me if you have a great deal you're dying to dive into!

Obviously, the more money you put into and hold in a property,  the less $$ you potentially have to play with in terms of getting another property (assuming you don't have very deep pockets).

Hard to tell exactly how deep it was but let's assume ceiling is 8 feet and there wasn't more than 2 feet between water level and ceiling.

My wife Sheri and I have taken the plunge, and we are diving into real estate head first.

Dave Visaya thank you Dave, I will definitely dive in.

Trying to start investing in a rental within the next 60-120 days - looking to dive head first.This looks like a great resource.

Wishing you all the best as you plunge into the deep end of the pool. 

Then I would add a narrow kitchen island on casters, maybe 2 feet deep.
