I just wanted to give you guys a heads up.

Happy holidays to all and wishing you a prosperous year ahead. 

Go ahead and run with it.

My advice is dont put so much down and instead buy a Primary and an investment rental all in one step.May sound crazy moving into a new state and also buying a rental but your already way a head of most investors. 

One was even about vehicles and not real estate.

Finance was a combination of a few different vehicles and ultimately ended with a HELOC which was then used to fund multiple other projects over the years.

If it sucks for you, you can sell and be further ahead than you already are today.

All are profits/income tand you are still coming out ahead, even if you have to pay taxes on them. 

But to be fair, I have spent a great amount of time very recently trying to help another professional 20 years in experience ahead of me bail out of a mistake I NEVER would have made.

As you progress, maintaining a clear line of communication with your team, especially your property manager, will allow you to stay ahead of maintenance issues and tenant needs, keeping your operations smooth and your tenants happy.If you haven't done so already, consider outlining your goals and investment criteria with a property manager early on.
