I joined this forum to connect with others, learn from those who’ve been in my shoes, and maybe even find people to partner with in the future.If you’ve got any tips, especially around raising capital or structuring your first deal, I’d love to hear them!

First of all, I have been in most of your shoes. 

A financial advisor or real estate pro could help you map it all out more concretely.If I were in your shoes, I'd probably lean towards selling and reinvesting into some more diverse assets, or just more properties, but that's just me. 

Hey Bree,It's fantastic to see your excitement... it reminds me of a friend of mine who was in your shoes not too long ago.

If you were in my shoes, what real estate strategy would you recommend for scaling quickly (but smartly) so that I can replace a good portion of the W2 income from real estate investing?

I am pretty handy and have done plenty of restoration work myself and not afraid to put in some elbow grease. looking into real estate to get the wealth ball rolling but feel a little uneasy given the current state of the economy. what would you do in my shoes?! 

If I were in your shoes, I’d look at the BRRRR strategy (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) to stretch your liquidity while building equity and cash flow.

Then the banks inflated appraisals, fabricated documents, counterfeited the securities (which is a felony) committed securities fraud and tax evasion.

I had holes in my shoes but came to not mind it because I couldn’t afford to buy new ones.One day I wanted to go watch a movie.

I've sold while in your shoes before, and I've also held with large negative CF.
