Best of luck on your journey into U.S. real estate investing!

I'd love to connect in a few months' time (or before if preferred) to possibly locate a property in your area and start my REI journey around October this year.

Do you need or want monthly cashflow, tax write-offs, betting on appreciation,....   

I’d love to be a resource for you and assist in any way I can as you continue your investment journey.

BiggerPockets is full of resources designed to help you along your journey, whether you are just getting started or a seasoned investor.

Purchase price: $530,000 Cash invested: $100,000 My journey into short-term rentals began after years of investing in long-term properties, but it was a podcast that opened my eyes to the incredible potential returns of STRs.

Typically, you can only do one rollover per 12-month period (again, IRS Publication 969 has the details).In the end, having the option to invest your HSA funds is usually a better bet than letting them sit in a basic savings account.

Let’s learn from each other—whether you’re just starting out or refining your approach after years of investing, I’d love to hear about the strategies driving your real estate journey in 2025.Looking forward to seeing what everyone’s working on this year!

Congrats on the journey, Derek!

At this point, I'm not so concerned about achieving that exactly, but if my REI journey takes me there on my way to (or even after) financial freedom, then I'm all for it.There's still some work to do to prepare financially for "the first deal" and that moment legitimately appears to be about 2 years away.
