Buy & Hold is still one of the best long-term strategies in 2025, but like any approach, it depends on your market, financing, and risk tolerance.

@Chris Seveney's suggestion could be a really good solution depending on the numbers. 

With ample time on my hands, I’m offering my assistance to experienced investors—whether it’s managing properties, finding deals, or lending my skills as an insured notary and signing agent.

Whether it’s connecting sellers with the right buyers or creating win-win opportunities, I thrive on taking action and delivering results.  

So I have recently listed my rental unit on various sites.

Can anyone please share the link to Diego Corso podcast episode on how he got started in real estate as an immigrant?

I went owner occupied either conventional or FHA.  3-5% down at the time you only had to live there 1 year and then you can move out or move on. 

I would check the events page in your area for meet-ups on BP, I would check for local meet-ups in meetup.com, and I would get coffee with as many investors on this site that are in your area as you can to get the ability to showcase what you are willing to bring to the table for them. 

But since you are new and learning, don't decide on what it has to be.

It really depends on your bigger picture and also what you are hoping to accomplish in the future.
