It sounds like you've gotten some solid direction above, but a few flags stood out to me in the above discussions and I wanted to point them out to help make your decision.- You mentioned this sale is tax free 121 exclusion, which is great, and seems like a solid start to your goal.- The townhouse you're moving into is currently a rental, but you plan to live there two years for the 121 exclusion.

My first major investment was a house hack BRRRR.

Quote from @David B Graham: Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

My point above is how solid are your financial and management plans?

Great to hear you’re diving into real estate investing!

Leverage your existing equity to invest in smaller properties, such as a mixed-use or retail space, to gain experience and cash flow.

I'm looking to purchase my first property with my fiancé (both 25) with the goal being to establish our primary residence together, as well as giving me the opportunity to add equity/value via rehab before moving on and converting the property into a rental within a year or so to kickstart an investment portfolio.An interesting lead that recently came up is my parent's neighbor's house.

Been investing here for 9 years.
