I have some relatives that will never leave the safety net of a job  or even invest in RE due to the not thinking outside of the box (or cubicle).

We are having trouble figuring out which deals we should tackle first but are prioritizing wholesale to build capital.

@Maxnbee Nyabende - So great to hear your approach of prioritizing vertically integrated companies when thinking of where to build your rental property portfolio. 

A lot of the creative financing is paired with bad real estate or a bad purchase price but the buyer is hyper focused on the creative financing terms and that's prioritized over the real estate. 

Plus, living in the property gives you the unique advantage of understanding it inside and out.. making you a better landlord when you eventually rent out all the units.If I were you, I’d prioritize properties with room for rent increases or small upgrades that could boost value.

Okay, this is gonna be long..here goes.Starting with $80,000 and considering your goals as a new investor with a family, the key is balancing risk and reward while prioritizing sustainable growth.1.

Additionally, are you recommending that we should prioritize taking action and securing properties that align with our long-term investment strategy?

Most of what I write from here applies to this type of property because that's what is customarily purchased by new investors who prioritize cash flow and should not be construed as general principles of real estate. 

@Devin James The 1 habit that changed my life is I started prioritizing wants vs needs. 

And who lack experience, sophistication and are unaware of the dangers of Subject To for the seller, is like handing out firearms and bullets with no safety training.
