@Jose Saladin Purchasing your sister’s home as a live-in rental offers instant equity (~$170K), tax benefits, and landlord experience, making it a solid first step into real estate investing.

Have been talking about getting into real estate investing for the last 2-3 years and finally pulled the trigger on a 3 unit house hack in Soulard that will be closing later this month and will be self-managing the property.I'm trying to network a bit with other investors, build a solid team of contractors / handymen, and set my systems up in way to scale, but also so my tenants have a good experience.

Continuously educate yourself about real estate and investment strategies.

Hey BP I’m debating about paying off my investment home first or primary property first. 

Welcome to BiggerPockets Jason and good luck investing!

The reality of investing is often much different than people see on social media - you need the fuel to power your investment properties!

A hands-off garage conversion ADU is over $100, even doing much of the work yourself, it will be much more expensive than your estimate.Single ADU additions in single family zoned areas are typically one of the worse re investments. 

However, if you originally intended to hold the property for investment and later decided to sell, the gain may qualify as capital gains.
